That we are aware of this is the first time this fish has been in captivity. We have two, one is being sold and the other is being donated to Joe Yaiullo at the Long Island Aquarium. They are eating pellets and a wide variety of frozen foods.

As you may know Dr. Mac set up our collection station with our partner in Tahiti and we regularly import fish and clams from our station. All fish are collected with small hand nets and then treated according to an extensive protocol we designed and all fish are eating before being shipped to us. Check our site for other Polynesian fish and clams.

I know some people have been asking if this wrasse is reef safe. To our knowledge the two we have in stock right now are the first in captivity. We have them held in our fish system. Since these are the first Tahitian Gold Flake Wrasse in captivity we do not know for sure if they are reef safe. They are absolutely beautiful!

We are donating one of the Tahitian Gold Flake wrasse to Joe Yaiullo at the Long Island Aquarium. The other is available and we are selling it. Here are some more photos of the beautiful Ultra RARE Tahitian Gold Flake Wrasse (Labropsis polynesica).
