Tricolor Lubbock's Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus lubbocki)

Another sand-diver, using loose substrate as an escape hatch the instant something bigger swims past or the lights go out for the night — a defense that works because most predators aren't willing to dig. Three distinct colors blend across its body, making it stand out even among a genus that's rarely subtle about color.

Care level: Easy · Temperament: Semi-aggressive · Max size: ~5" · Min tank: 55 gal, sand bed required · Diet: Carnivore, meaty foods
