Wrasses primarily feed on small invertebrates, including crustaceans, mollusks, and polychaete worms. Many species also consume zooplankton and algae, depending on their habitat and food availability. Some larger wrasses, like the Napoleon wrasse, may even eat small fish. Their diverse diet helps maintain the health of coral reefs and marine ecosystems.
