Redfin Wrasse – LiveAquaria
The Redfin Wrasse originates from the Philippines and enjoys the rubble areas of the outer reefs. This peaceful wrasse is a great addition to any Reef Aquarium, adding stunning coloration. Like other wrasses, the males during courtship will display increased color intensity. Colors may vary depending on the fish’s mood.
The Redfin Wrasse is a very peaceful, active fish that will bring both color and activity to a fish-only or reef aquarium of 90 gallons or larger. They will not bother any corals or invertebrates, making them a perfect fish for the reef aquarium. A single male can be kept with a group of females that is introduced prior to or at the same time as the male. These wrasses like to jump, so a tight-fitting canopy is recommended.
Diet should include a variety of live and frozen foods such as brine shrimp, mysis, and spirulina-based pellets to ensure proper nutrition and vibrant coloration.

The Redfin Wrasse has added vibrant color to my 120-gallon reef tank. It’s very active and peaceful, and doesn’t damage any of my corals. I introduced a male with several females, and they seem to get along well. The fish jumps a lot, so I made sure the tank has a secure canopy. It’s a great addition to any reef setup.

I’ve had this wrasse for three months now and it’s been a joy to watch. The colors are striking, especially during the day when it’s active. It doesn’t eat much, but I feed it brine shrimp and spirulina daily. It’s a calm fish that doesn’t stress the other inhabitants.

The Redfin Wrasse is colorful and active, but it does jump a lot. I had to install a tight-fitting canopy to prevent it from escaping. It’s compatible with my reef tank and doesn’t harm corals. A bit of effort in setup, but worth it for the visual appeal.
