{"product_id":"yellow-tail-tamarin-wrasse","title":"Yellow-Tail Tamarin Wrasse","description":"\u003cp\u003eYellowtail Tamarin Wrasse\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLatin Name: Anampses meleagrides\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehaviour:\u003cbr\u003ePeaceful temperament but can be territorial. Best kept with other peaceful fish species that are not overly aggressive. Solitary fish that spends time foraging among rocks and sand.  Does not handle aggression well. It is very common for a newly introduced Tamarin Wrasse to immediately bury itself in the substrate once released into the aquarium.  A confirmed jumper — a secure, tight-fitting lid is essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin:\u003cbr\u003eHas a wide distribution across the Great Barrier Reef in Australia to the Indo-Pacific and west toward Africa in the Red Sea. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiet:\u003cbr\u003eCarnivore. Primarily feeds on small invertebrates such as copepods, amphipods, and bristle worms. Known for actively foraging through substrate and rockwork for food.  Can be challenging to wean onto frozen foods — live foods may be needed initially. Multiple daily feedings required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReef Safe: ⚠️ Reef Safe with Caution\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe aquarium should have corals or plenty of rocks since the Yellowtail Wrasse eats small invertebrates that grow on live rock.  Will consume ornamental shrimp and small crustaceans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharacteristics:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Dark body covered in various sized white spots with a bright yellow tail. Few differences between males and females, each reaching an adult size of approximately 8 inches. \u003cbr\u003e • Known for sequential hermaphroditism — some individuals may change from female to male as they mature. \u003cbr\u003e • Absolutely requires a moderately-sized to fine sandy substrate in order to bury themselves in — this is a non-negotiable care requirement. \u003cbr\u003e • Seldom available in the aquarium trade. With the low success rate of collected Anampses wrasses acclimating from importation, sourcing a healthy, already-feeding specimen is strongly recommended before purchasing. \u003cbr\u003e • Minimum tank size: 75 gallons with plenty of open swimming space, rockwork, and a deep soft sand bed\u003cbr\u003e • Skill level: Advanced — can be challenging to keep long term\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Two Corals Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45338199752813,"sku":null,"price":590.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/5553\/4701\/files\/FullSizeRender_57b9a16a-1eaf-4b24-b0ba-2c38d6033a20.jpg?v=1781444699","url":"https:\/\/2corals.co.za\/products\/yellow-tail-tamarin-wrasse","provider":"Two Corals Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
