Ornate Leopard Wrasse (Macropharyngodon ornatus) ENTRY Keep salinity stableThe Ornate Leopard Wrasse is one of the most breathtakingly patterned fish available in the reef hobby, and one of the most demanding. The body carries a smaller, denser speckled pattern of various colours including vibrant greens, blues, reds, and gold across a dark base, with a greater accent of red in its body than the more commonly kept Leopard Wrasse (M. meleagris), producing a mosaic of colour that earns the common name without any exaggeration.
