The fairy wrasse is vibrant and active. It flashes bright colors in the afternoon, adding a lively touch to the tank. Easy to care for with regular feeding of mysis and brine shrimp. Perfect for a reef setup with other peaceful fish.

Great color display and calm demeanor. I have one male with three females, and they coexist well. The fish stays near the surface, which makes it easy to observe. Just make sure the tank has a secure lid.
Richard Dyer –
Highly recommended for reef tanks. The male shows strong coloration during the day, especially in the late afternoon. Feeding is simple and the fish is not aggressive toward other species.
