Red-Sea Cleaner Wrasse

Red-Sea Cleaner Wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus) is a true reef hero with its iconic black stripe splitting a bright, sleek body. Peaceful and completely reef-safe, it sets up mini cleaning stations where other fish actually queue up to be picked clean of parasites — adding life, motion, and natural balance to your aquarium. Adults grow to about 5 inches. Best housed in tanks of at least 75 gallons, with plenty of live rock for hiding/shadow, stable water parameters, and a secure lid (they’re escape artists). Diet should primarily be small parasites off other fish, but in captivity you’ll also need to supply enriched frozen mysis/brine shrimp and finely chopped seafood.

International Aquatics Quarantine & Guarantee: All fish are checked by marine vets, given a formalin bath, and held for 14 days in copper-treated systems. We feed Selcon-soaked food with Kanaplex and Metroplex during quarantine. Unless marked, all livestock comes with our 15-Day Guarantee. You will receive a video of your fish eating before shipment. On request, we also send photos/videos after arrival at IA.

Several species will be import-to-order and may take anywhere from 3-10 business days to secure. Once your fish is secured, you will be notified, and the quarantine process will then begin.
