Longfin Fairy Wrasse

The Longfin Fairy Wrasseis species varies in coloration considerably but is usually bright red/orange colouration with a pale body and scarlet ventral and anal fins. More often than not this species will have a pale underside. Please expect variations in coloration with these fish, as the intensity of colouration and patterns vary with the location in their natural habitat, and their mood.

The Longfin Fairy Wrasse is an ideal fish for the reef aquarium adding both bright colouration and activity to these aquariums. Wrasse of the genus Cirrhilabrus mix well together if they are introduced simultaneously to the tank, and are one of the best groups of fish for a reef tank setting.

The Longfin Fairy Wrasse diet should include vitamin enriched frozen mysis shrimp, vitamin enriched frozen brine shrimp, and other meaty foods along with a high quality marine flake and marine pellet food.
