Exquisite Fairy Wrasse
Veterinary & Aquatic Services Department, Drs. Foster & Smith, Inc.
The male Exquisite Fairy Wrasse, or simply Exquisite Wrasse, is green with bright red markings. It may also have blues, oranges, yellows, and purples decorating the body, depending on its mood. The females generally do not have quite as bold markings as the males.
A 30 gallon or larger aquarium, either fish-only or reef, with a shaded area is recommended. Female tank mates should be introduced prior to or at the same time as the male.
The Exquisite Fairy Wrasse diet should consist of a variety of feeder shrimps, flaked foods, and marine meats.
Like other wrasse, they are generally compatible with: Large Angelfish, Boxfish, Damselfish and Tangs & Surgeons.
