The Ruby Fin Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus cf. cyanopleura) is a beautifully colored and peaceful species that makes a stunning addition to any reef or community tank. The male Ruby Fin Wrasse typically displays more intense ruby-red coloration with vivid accents, while females and juveniles tend to have softer shades of orange or pink.

Native to the Indo-Pacific, this wrasse is an active swimmer that thrives in well-established aquariums with plenty of live rock for hiding and exploring. It is a peaceful fish that gets along well with other peaceful species, making it an ideal choice for community tanks. Additionally, it is reef-safe, posing no threat to corals or invertebrates.

As a carnivore, the Ruby Fin Wrasse thrives on a varied diet of mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and other meaty marine foods. Offering a mix of frozen, live, and prepared foods will help maintain its health and vibrant coloration.

This active and elegant swimmer is a perfect choice for intermediate aquarists seeking a colorful and peaceful fish for their reef aquarium. With proper care and attention, the Ruby Fin Wrasse will be a delightful and dynamic addition to any saltwater tank.
