Simons Wrasse

Simons Wrasse

Halichoeres Iridis

The Simons Wrasse, or Rainbow Wrasse (Halichoeres iridis) is also known as the Radiant Wrasse.

The Rainbow Wrasse is very common on the tops of the seaward reefs from depths of 12 meters down to about 20 meters. They are more common in areas of soft coral and rubble but are found on rubble and hard coral. They are almost always in mixed groups of adults and juveniles and it is uncommon to see one on its own.

Rainbow Wrasse are kept in aquariums but may become territorial and aggressive towards similar sized fish and because of this are not commonly kept. They require good hiding places and plenty of water to swim in. A larger tank is therefore a prerequisite. They may also take some time to acclimatize into a tank. They also need thick sand to burrow into.
