Description
The Exquisite Wrasse Male (Africa) (Cirrhilabrus exquisitus) is a stunning and colorful species of wrasse that displays a brilliant combination of green, pink, blue, and yellow hues, which are more vibrant in males. Native to the reefs of Africa, this species is a popular choice for reef and marine aquariums due to its peaceful nature and striking coloration.
This wrasse thrives in well-established reef tanks and is known to be reef-safe, posing no threat to corals or invertebrates. It is a peaceful species that does well in community tanks with other non-aggressive fish. The Exquisite Wrasse enjoys swimming in open water and benefits from having plenty of live rock for hiding and foraging.
As a carnivore, it requires a diet rich in meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and finely chopped seafood. Providing a varied diet will help maintain its vibrant colors and overall health.
The Exquisite Wrasse Male is an excellent choice for aquarists looking to add a beautiful and peaceful fish to their reef or community aquarium. Its active swimming behavior and dazzling coloration make it a standout addition to any well-maintained marine tank.
