Jason Greene –
Added the Red Margin Fairy Wrasse to my 55-gallon reef tank last month. It’s active but not aggressive, and it blends well with the other fish. The coloration is vibrant and it’s a great addition to the community.
Neil Dowd –
The wrasse has been in my tank for about six weeks now. It’s peaceful and doesn’t bother the corals. I appreciate the clear care instructions provided. Needs a stable environment though.
Jack Underwood –
This wrasse is a beautiful and calm fish. It’s easy to spot in the tank due to its red margin. I’m happy with the purchase and the fish is thriving in my 50-gallon setup.
