Wetmorella albofasciata

|---|---|

| Origin | Indo-Pacific |
| Minimum Tank Size | 20 Gal. |

Behavior
An adorable, shy micro-wrasse that skulks through caves and rubble and rarely shows itself in a busy tank. Utterly peaceful and reef safe — ideal for a nano or a live-rock-rich display.
Diet & Feeding
Micro-carnivore. It thrives on a pod-rich tank plus small meaty foods — mysis and enriched brine.
Cautions
Extremely shy and easily outcompeted — best in a peaceful nano with abundant live rock and no aggressive fish. Small; a jumper, so keep covered.
