Description
The Abudjubbe Wrasse is a striking marine fish endemic to the Red Sea, characterized by its reddish spots and lines over a greenish-grey body. It is a carnivorous species that requires a mature saltwater aquarium with ample live rock for foraging and shelter. This wrasse can be a beautiful addition to a reef-safe or fish-only-with-live-rock tank.
