Not Reef Safe

The Black Leopard Wrasse (Macropharyngodon negrosensis) is a visually captivating fish characterized by its striking black body covered in intricate patterns of vibrant spots, reminiscent of a leopard's coat. This species is known for its energetic behavior, often foraging through the sand for small invertebrates, adding a lively presence to the aquarium. While its unique coloration and dynamic nature make it a popular choice among aquarists, caution is advised in reef settings, as it may nip at small invertebrates and disrupt coral colonies. The Black Leopard Wrasse thrives in well-structured tanks with ample hiding spots and a sandy substrate for burrowing. Ideal for experienced aquarists, this wrasse adds both beauty and activity to a fish-only or specialized aquarium environment.
