{"product_id":"possum-wrasse-fish","title":"Possum Wrasse Fish","description":"\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Possum Wrasse, *Wetmorella nigropinnata*, is a small, secretive wrasse that is a fascinating addition to a peaceful reef aquarium. Its body is typically a mottled brown or reddish-brown with darker spots and lines, providing excellent camouflage amongst live rock. A distinguishing feature is the black spot with a white ring on the dorsal fin, resembling an eye.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA minimum aquarium size of 20 gallons is recommended for a single Possum Wrasse. Provide plenty of live rock with numerous caves and crevices for hiding, as this species is quite shy and will spend much of its time concealed. A sand bed is also beneficial as they may occasionally bury themselves. They are generally peaceful and can be kept with other small, non-aggressive fish. Avoid keeping them with larger, boisterous tank mates that may intimidate them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Possum Wrasse is a carnivore and will readily accept a varied diet of small meaty foods. Offer high-quality frozen foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and finely chopped marine fish or shrimp. They may also pick at small invertebrates in the live rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the aquarium, the Possum Wrasse typically reaches a maximum size of around 3 inches. They are not known to be reef-safe and may nip at small invertebrates, including ornamental shrimp and snails. Breeding in captivity is not well documented. There are no readily apparent visual differences between males and females.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick Facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wetmorella nigropinnata\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carnivore\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reef Safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indo-Pacific\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Adult Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Discover Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":53075095224609,"sku":"TT-6387-S","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":53075095257377,"sku":"TT-6387-M","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Large","offer_id":53075095290145,"sku":"TT-6387-L","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0893\/4044\/4961\/files\/IMG_5296-scaled.jpg?v=1784964437","url":"https:\/\/discoveraquaticsshop.com\/products\/possum-wrasse-fish","provider":"Discover Aquatics Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
