Marine Wrasse • Sand Sleeper • Reef Safe • Display Species
 
📋 The Blue Spotted Tamarin Wrasse (Anampses caeruleopunctatus) is a spectacularly patterned species, adorned with hundreds of brilliant blue iridescent dots over a deep brown to green body. Males are especially vibrant, displaying intense coloration and elongated fins.
This species naturally inhabits coral rubble and sandy slopes, where it sifts for small invertebrates. In the aquarium, it is a graceful swimmer and sand sleeper, burying itself at night or when startled.
Due to its sensitivity during acclimation, this wrasse is best suited for experienced aquarists with mature reef systems, stable water parameters, and a deep sand bed. When properly housed, it becomes a stunning centerpiece of motion and beauty.
