Lunate Fairy Wrasse by LiveAquaria
The Lunate Fairy Wrasse is a peaceful fish that will make a beautiful addition to your aquarium. Adult males are brighter and flashier than their female counterparts.
This species thrives in either a fish-only or reef aquarium of 50 gallons or larger. It requires a shaded area away from direct bright lights. They do not interact with or harm corals or invertebrates, making them ideal for reef setups. Due to their tendency to jump, a tight-fitting canopy is recommended.
The Lunate Fairy Wrasse diet should include vitamin-enriched frozen mysis shrimp, vitamin-enriched frozen brine shrimp, and other meaty foods, along with a high-quality marine flake and marine pellet food.

The Lunate Fairy Wrasse has been a stunning addition to my 75-gallon reef tank. The male is very colorful and active, especially during the evening. It stays in a shaded corner and doesn’t disturb the corals. I feed it a mix of mysis and brine shrimp daily, and it eats well. The jumping behavior is noticeable, so I installed a secure canopy. Overall, a peaceful and attractive fish.

I added this wrasse to my 60-gallon tank and it has adapted well. The female is less vibrant than the male, but still looks elegant. It doesn’t stress the invertebrates and enjoys the dimmer areas. Feeding it frozen foods keeps it healthy and active. A bit of jumping, but the canopy handles it fine.

This fish is a visual highlight in my reef setup. It’s calm and doesn’t chase other fish. I’ve been feeding it a varied diet including mysis and marine pellets. It grows steadily and stays in the shaded zones. The coloration is vibrant, especially in males. I’m very satisfied with the purchase.
