I’ve had my Blackfin Fairy Wrasse for three months now. It’s active but not aggressive and blends well with the coral. The tank is 80 gallons and it’s thriving. Easy to care for once you get the water parameters right.

The fish arrived healthy and has been calm in my 75-gallon tank. I appreciate that it’s peaceful and doesn’t bother the other fish or corals. Just make sure the water parameters are stable.

This wrasse is a great addition to a reef setup. It’s active and curious, but not territorial. I’ve kept it with several other reef fish and it’s coexisting well.
