Description
The Socorro Wrasse is a small, vibrantly colored saltwater fish known for its reddish-orange body, often with a distinct blue stripe along its back and a yellow tail. This active and peaceful species is a beautiful addition to a reef aquarium. It thrives in stable environments with plenty of rockwork for hiding and foraging.
