I am just wondering what a wrasses that is colored purple, orange and then purple not sure of the name of the species, but we are wondering what they eat?? Most wrasse eat meaty foods like brine shrimp blood worms and things of that nature. You could als try feeding them carnivore food pellets. I feed my wrasses frozen mysis, shrimp, squid. Also prepared frozen gel cubes Ocean Nutrition.
IMO brine shrimp unenriched and blood worms are less desirable foods. Occassionally, I throw in some live gut loaded ghost shrimp as a treat for my coris wrasse. As a side question, do you have a picture of this fish or know a common name? When it comes to wrasses, knowing the genus is typically important as it will tell you much about the fish and its compatibility with others. The ornate wrasse, primarily brightly red and green colored, is an aggressive carnivore.
Its main diet consists of small crustaceans and invertebrates. In captivity, Halichoeres ornatissimus will feed on meaty fares such as fresh or frozen seafood, dried, frozen or live brine and mysid shrimp, live grass shrimp, as well as flake foods. It may also nip at polyps and fleshier corals, so it should not be kept in a reef tank.
It is recommended that they feed several times a day. The saddleback wrasse, also commonly known as Jansen's saddle wrasse, is a beautiful fish with its vibrant blue and green colors and the brownish-orange saddle bar marking around the body behind the head, which gives it its name. When viewed closely you can also see short, vertical, purple-red bars on its body. This species Thalassoma duperrey should reside in a gallon or larger aquarium with larger, aggressive tank mates, and plenty of live rock for hiding.
It will become territorial and harass any new additions and it should be one of the last additions to the aquarium.
The yellowtail coris wrasse Coris gaimard should be fed a hardy diet of suitably bite-sized pieces of meaty foods that include fresh or frozen seafood, live or frozen brine and mysid shrimp, live grass or ghost shrimp, live black worms, and flake food. Also commonly called a clown wrasse or red labrid, this fish has an extreme and vibrant color transformation from juvenile to adulthood. When very small, these fish are safe with almost any fish that will not eat them, but as they grow, they can become destructive.

Fairy wrasses are pickers—and indeed very well adapted pickers—but are an exception in that their eye size is pretty close to that of their non-zooplanktivorous relatives. Instead, their excellent vision owes to a highly advanced eye structure. This consists of a round, divided, double pupil. The center pupil seems to act as a sort of fine-focus lens.
It is believed that they may possess additional visual enhancements such as high eye ganglion nerve cell densities or a high sensitivity to ultraviolet light.
Because they rely so much on sight for feeding, fairy wrasses are strongly diurnal in habit i. At night, they secrete a thick mucus cocoon. The cocoon serves to hide their presence especially their scent from nocturnal predators as they sleep.
While sleeping or when stressed , they may take on a blotchy body pattern. More and more species of this fascinating group are becoming available to marine aquarium hobbyists with each passing year. Despite their sometimes big price tag, they remain popular. Aquarists have learned that while they are reasonably amenable to captive life , fairy wrasses do have certain husbandry needs that must be addressed. The most important of these is providing ample open space and a continuous food availability.
Though they are smallish in size, fairy wrasses are hyper and flighty fish that require a substantial amount of swimming area. A tank size of at least 55 gallons is recommended; something larger might be needed if too much open swimming space is displaced by the rock and corals. Whether due to excited feeding activity, courting displays or fright, it is all too common for these fishes to fling themselves from the tank.
Thus, it is highly advisable for anyone keeping a fairy wrasse to keep a tight cover on the tank at all times. Though they are reported to accept a fairly wide variety of aquarium foods, it may be especially beneficial for these animals to have regular access to a live, natural food item. That, of course, is zooplankton.
So, obviously, copepods should be the first choice of food for these and all reef-associated zooplanktivores. Copepods are naturally appealing to the animal, are highly nutritious, have color enhancing properties and contain just enough roughage i.
