Known for its engaging swimming behavior and peaceful nature, this wrasse is an ideal choice for hobbyists seeking a colorful, low-maintenance addition.
Native to reef environments, the Blue Throat Fairy Wrasse is fully reef-compatible and coexists harmoniously with corals and invertebrates, posing no threat to the tank’s ecosystem.
