Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasse (Labroides phthirophagus) – Golden Variant

Description

Labroides pectoralis

The golden cleaner wrasse, like all cleaner wrasses, fulfils a vital function in a reef or fish only tank; cleaning parasites and dead tissue off other fish. This service helps minimize parasitic outbreaks in a captive system.

Since they derive most of their nutrition from this service, it is necessary that they be kept in a large population of fish to pick off.
