The Scott’s Fairy Wrasse has been a great addition to my 50-gallon reef tank. It’s peaceful and active, and it doesn’t eat any of the corals. It’s easy to care for once the water parameters are stable.

I’ve had this wrasse for three months now. It’s colorful and stays calm around other fish. The only thing is it needs stable water conditions to thrive.
