Description
The Crescent Tail Fairy Wrasse Male (Cirrhilabrus lunatus) is a stunning and active fish that adds vibrant color and liveliness to any reef aquarium. The male’s distinct crescent-shaped tail and its blend of pink, red, and blue colors make it a popular choice among marine hobbyists. Native to the tropical Indo-Pacific, the Crescent Tail Fairy Wrasse is known for its peaceful nature, making it a suitable tankmate in community setups.
As a carnivore, this species enjoys a diet of small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and other protein-rich foods. It thrives in a well-established aquarium with plenty of live rock and coral for hiding and exploration.
This wrasse is reef-compatible and poses no threat to corals or invertebrates, making it ideal for reef tank environments. Its energetic swimming behavior, peaceful disposition, and striking colors make it a standout addition to a marine tank setup.
