Description
The Katherine Fairy Wrasse (Female) (Cirrhilabrus katherinae) is a beautiful and peaceful fish, admired for its vibrant mix of red, black, and white coloration. This fairy wrasse is well-suited for community and reef aquariums, as it typically coexists harmoniously with other peaceful species.
Being a carnivore, the Katherine Fairy Wrasse thrives on a diet of small meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and finely chopped marine fare. Known for its active swimming and friendly nature, this wrasse brings energy and color to any aquarium setting without disturbing corals or invertebrates.
Growing up to 4 inches, this wrasse can be comfortably housed in a minimum tank size of 55 gallons. Its ease of care, stunning coloration, and peaceful temperament make it an excellent choice for aquarists seeking a vibrant and low-maintenance fish for their reef or community tank.
