Leopard Wrasse Male

Macropharyngodon ornatus, the Ornate Leopard Wrasse, is one of the most beautiful and delicate wrasse species. Its white body is covered in intricate blue, orange, and black leopard-like spotting that varies between males (more vivid) and females. Requires a mature tank with a healthy copepod population to supplement frozen feeding, as it is a fussy eater, particularly when first introduced. A deep sand bed is essential for sleeping. Best for established, mature reef systems.

Mature reef with copepod infauna. Deep sandbed (5+ cm). Feed frozen mysis, baby brine shrimp multiple times daily. Standard reef parameters. Sensitive to water quality — only for established tanks. Do not combine with aggressive feeders. Lid essential.
