Added the Red Margin Fairy Wrasse to my 55-gallon reef tank. It’s active but calm, doesn’t bother the corals, and has a nice red margin on its fins. Feeds well on small crustaceans and algae. Good for intermediate reef keepers.

The fish arrived healthy and has been thriving in my tank for three months. It’s peaceful and doesn’t show aggression. I appreciate the clear description of its compatibility with reef life.

Perfect addition to a balanced reef system. It’s small, doesn’t dominate space, and blends well with other fish. Easy to care for once the tank is stable.
