The Dusky Wrasse, Halichoeres marginatus, is naturally a passive wrasse species. The Dusky Wrasse requires a tank with a tightly sealed lid to prevent escapes. They require a large tank of at least 50 gallons with plenty of swimming space and a deep sandy substrate is also preferred.

The Dusky Wrasse will change appearance as it transitions from its juvenile stages to adulthood. Juveniles are often black with a white tail and white lines with occasional black spotting on the fins. As they mature, more red and green colors appear with broken horizontal striping across its body.

Saltwaterfish.com sent me an absolutely gorgeous dusky wrasse. This species of wrasse, like many, does not always handle shipping well (I lost one in the past for no apparent reason one day after it arrived). I took care to minimize its stress by leaving the lights off in the quarantine tank for the first couple of days. One week in he's active, eats like a champ, and doing great.
