Exquisite Fairy Wrasse

Cirrhilabrus exquisitus, commonly known as the Exquisite Fairy Wrasse, is a captivating species of ray-finned fish from the family Cirrhilabrus. These vibrant fish are native to the reefs in the Indo-West Pacific region. Their striking appearance and peaceful temperament make them a sought-after addition to marine aquariums.

Here are some fascinating details about the Exquisite Fairy Wrasse:

• Coloration: The male Exquisite Fairy Wrasse displays a stunning combination of green with bright red markings. The intensity of these red markings can vary based on the location from which the fish was collected. Depending on its mood, it may also exhibit shades of blue, orange, yellow, and purple. The females generally have less bold markings than the males.

• Aquarium Recommendation: These wrasses are reef-safe, meaning they won’t harm corals or invertebrates. However, they do have a tendency to jump, so a tight-fitting canopy is essential.

• Diet: Their diet should include vitamin-enriched frozen mysis shrimp, frozen brine shrimp, and other meaty foods. High-quality marine flakes and marine pellet food are also suitable.

• Size: Exquisite Fairy Wrasses can grow up to approximately 5 inches in length.

These enchanting fish are a joy to observe as they gracefully swim through the aquarium. Their energetic behavior and vibrant colors add a touch of magic to any reef tank!
