Leopard Wrasse (Female) – Macropharyngodon meleagris

Buy a Female Leopard Wrasse online from Reef Hacker. Known for its intricate spotted pattern and graceful swimming behavior, the Leopard Wrasse is one of the most visually unique additions to a mature reef aquarium.

This species features a beautiful “leopard-like” pattern across its body, with subtle color shifts that become more vibrant as it acclimates. Female Leopard Wrasses are highly sought after for their peaceful nature and active foraging behavior, constantly hunting pests and microfauna throughout the tank.

Leopard Wrasses require a well-established reef system with a mature sand bed, as they bury themselves at night and when stressed. Best suited for experienced hobbyists, this species thrives in stable environments with plenty of live rock and natural food sources.

Each specimen is carefully selected, conditioned, and feeding prior to shipment, helping ensure a smooth transition into your aquarium.
