Exquisite Fairy Wrasse
The male Exquisite Fairy Wrasse is green with bright red markings. These red markings may vary depending on the location of collection. The fish may also display blues, oranges, yellows, and purples across its body, depending on its mood. Females typically have less vibrant markings than males.
Recommended tank size is 90 gallons or larger, either fish-only or reef. A shaded area is essential for comfort. This wrasse is known to avoid corals and invertebrates, making it a suitable choice for reef tanks. Due to its tendency to jump, a tightly fitting canopy is required.
Diet should include vitamin-enriched frozen mysis shrimp, vitamin-enriched frozen brine shrimp, and other meaty foods, along with a high-quality marine flake.

The Exquisite Fairy Wrasse has been a stunning addition to our 120-gallon reef tank. The male shows vibrant red markings and changes colors when active. It doesn’t bother the corals and enjoys the frozen shrimp we feed it. We installed a secure canopy because it jumps frequently. Very happy with the purchase.

We added a male Exquisite Fairy Wrasse to our 90-gallon tank. It’s active and colorful, with noticeable red and yellow markings. It seems to prefer the frozen foods. A shaded corner helps it feel calm. The only issue is it jumps, so we had to install a tight canopy.

This wrasse is beautiful and peaceful in our reef setup. The female we received has softer colors, which is expected. It eats the mysis and brine shrimp well and doesn’t damage any of the live rock or corals. A great choice for reef keepers.
