Thalassoma genquivittatum. The Genquivittatum Wrasse is a stunning and very colorful wrasse found only in Mauritius and Reunion Island. Genquivittatum Wrasses have a mostly green body with a strong yellow vertical band behind their head and red heads.
Genquivittatum Wrasses reach a maximum adult size of around 8 inches and need to be kept in tanks that are at least 125 gallons. Genquivittatum Wrasses are semi-aggressive fish and shouldn't bother too many fish or coral in your tank. Genquivittatum Wrasses might go after some inverts and bother tiny fish, so if you'd like to add one to your reef tank, proceed with caution.
