Not sure, but I would suggest searching Caribbean wrasses

Sorry I haven't kept any Carib wrasses in the past 25 years, I would guess that it'll eat most any food, and is not reef safe, especially as it grows!
Where are you located?

It'll eat pellets, mysis, Ocean Nutrtion frozen foods and pretty much anything else that can fit in its mouth.

Never tried offering it macros, but I'm sure it'll eat vegetable based preparations like the frozen Ocean Nutition foods.
