Added a male and three females to my 60-gallon reef tank. The fish are very active and colorful, especially during the day. The colors are vibrant and change slightly depending on the light and mood. No issues with corals or invertebrates. The canopy fits well and keeps them safe from jumping.

Great addition to my tank. The fish are calm and don’t stress the polyps. The males show more color when active, which is a nice sight. I introduced the females first, then added the male. They seem to get along well.

The Rosy Fin Fairy Wrasse brings a lot of energy and visual appeal. I’ve had them for three months and they’re still active and healthy. The black edges on the fins stand out well in the tank. No aggression or damage to other inhabitants.
