Cosmetic Wrasse

Halichoeres Cosmetus

The Adorned Wrasse (Halichoeres cosmetus) is also known as the Cosmetic wrasse. They are small colourful fast moving wrasses that are common on the reefs and surrounding areas. As with all the Halichoeres species, they are protogynous hermaphrodites. This means they are all born female and at some point in their lives have the ability to change to males.

Adorned Wrasse are kept in aquariums. As with many wrasse they will bury themselves in the sand when threatened and will only emerge once they are comfortable. They are active fish and a long tank with hiding spots and sand would suit them best. Some aquarists maintain that they are not as aggressive as other Halichoeres wrasses.
