Halichoeres timorensis
The Timor Wrasse is a vibrant and active fish, known for its striking colors that range from green, blue, and yellow in juveniles to a more subdued palette in adults, with males often showcasing brighter hues and distinct patterns. Coloration can vary with age, collection location, and breeding cycles. This species thrives in aquariums with ample live rock, offering essential hiding spots like caves and crevices. A deep sandy substrate is important as they bury themselves at night or when startled. Due to their jumping tendencies, a secure lid is recommended. Peaceful and reef-safe, the Timor Wrasse coexists well with most tankmates. It is omnivorous, feeding on a variety of frozen foods like mysis and brine shrimp, as well as high-quality pellets and flakes, ideally 2–3 times daily. Additionally, it helps control pests like flatworms and bristle worms in reef tanks. Reaching up to 5 inches, the Timor Wrasse requires a minimum tank size of 70 gallons. In the wild, it inhabits the Indo-West Pacific Ocean near Sri Lanka and Indonesia, typically found in rocky tidepools at depths of up to 50 feet.
