The Marble Wrasse (Halichoeres hortulanus), also called the Checkerboard Wrasse, is one of the largest wrasse species: juveniles are white with black spots while adults develop a silvery body with black checkerboard patterns, yellow dorsal and caudal fins, and a green face with orange lines. It helps control fireworms, pyramidellid snails, and flatworms, needs a minimum 475-liter tank with a 5–8 cm sand bed and tight lid, moderate care, and a protein-rich diet.
