The Radiant Wrasse (Halichoeres iridis) is a species of wrasse found in the western and central Pacific Ocean, from Japan and the Philippines south to New Caledonia and the Great Barrier Reef. It is a popular aquarium fish due to its striking coloration and active personality. This species can grow up to about 4.5 inches (11 cm) in length and has a slender, elongated body shape. It has a bright, iridescent blue-green body with a pink or red stripe that runs horizontally along the length of its body, from the gill cover to the base of the tail. The fins are also brightly colored, with a combination of blue, green, yellow, and orange. The Radiant Wrasse is generally peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive fish in a reef or community tank, but should not be kept with smaller fish or invertebrates that it may see as food. It is important to provide ample hiding places and plenty of swimming room, as this species is active and likes to explore its environment. It also requires a varied diet that includes meaty foods such as shrimp, krill, and small pieces of fish. While this species is relatively hardy and adaptable to aquarium life, it is recommended for experienced aquarists due to its sensitive nature and specific care requirements.
