The Banded Possum Wrasse, also known as the Pygmy Possum or Arrowhead Wrasse, originates from the waters of Indonesia; it has an arrowhead-like shape and is mostly red/orange with yellow vertical stripes as a juvenile, darkening to a deep rustish coloration as it matures, with males displaying increased color intensity when courting. It is a very peaceful, active fish for a fish-only or reef aquarium of 10 gallons or larger; it will not bother corals or invertebrates, and a single male can be kept with a group of females introduced before or with the male; these wrasses jump, so a tight-fitting canopy is recommended; feed vitamin-enriched frozen mysis and brine shrimp and other meaty foods along with high-quality marine flake and pellet food.
