Royal Pencil Wrasse (Severns) Male

About this fish

Royal Pencil Wrasse (Severns) Male is a saltwater wrasse sold under the name Pseudojuloides severnsi. In a home aquarium, it’s a lively, rock-roaming fish that can add movement to the aquascape while also helping control certain aquarium pests. As a wrasse, it typically benefits from a secure setup and appropriate food variety to support a healthy feeding routine.

Features:

• Active, colorful wrasse that cruises the rockwork during the day
• Often considered reef safe; many wrasses also help control pests such as flatworms and bristle worms
• Eager feeder when offered appropriate foods (frozen and quality prepared foods)
• Many wrasses bury in the sand or hide in a mucus cocoon at night, so a sand bed can be helpful
• Strong jumpers—use a tight lid to reduce the risk of escapes
• Adapt gradually: acclimate slowly and provide a quiet spot so it can settle after arrival
• Helpful to plan tankmates and setup in advance before ordering, since wrasse compatibility can vary
