Notes: The Tricolor Fairy Wrasse will add a dramatic splash of color to any reef aquarium. Provide it with plenty of live rock and live sand. It is a very peaceful wrasse and can be housed with a wide variety of reef fish, including other small wrasse.
The Tricolor Fairy Wrasse is a great reef fish and is often seen cruising all over the tank looking for food. It is harmless to corals, clams, and ornamental invertebrates. It will help to control pyramidellid snails, which are harmful to clams, and flatworms. Do not keep it with aggressive predators, or larger aggressive wrasses.
This wrasse may jump from open aquariums, so make sure to keep your tank covered.
Feed a mixed diet of carnivore preparations, mysid shrimp, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, and/or live black worms.
