Description
Description
The Hardwicke Wrasse, *Parma hardwickii*, is a vibrant and active addition to the marine aquarium. Reaching a maximum size of approximately 5 inches (125 mm), this species is native to the Indo-Pacific region.
An intermediate level of care is recommended for the Hardwicke Wrasse. A well-established aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and grazing is essential. While generally peaceful, they can become territorial, especially towards conspecifics or similar-looking fish, so careful consideration should be given to tank mates.
In the aquarium, the Hardwicke Wrasse will readily accept a varied diet of high-quality marine flake food, pellet food, frozen mysis shrimp, and enriched brine shrimp. Providing a diverse diet will help maintain their vibrant coloration and overall health.
