About
The Flame Fairy Wrasse is a highly sought-after marine fish known for its stunning vibrant red to orange coloration, especially in mature males. Originating from the deep waters around Hawaii, it is a peaceful and active species, making it an excellent addition to most reef aquariums. They are known for constantly patrolling the tank, sifting through rockwork for small invertebrates. They are considered reef-safe but are skilled jumpers, so a secure lid is essential.
