Description
The Madagascar Flasher Wrasse is a stunning and vibrant addition to any marine aquarium. Males display a remarkable array of colors, featuring bright blues, reds, and yellows, which become particularly pronounced during courtship displays. Reaching a maximum size of about 4 inches, these fish thrive in tanks of at least 50 gallons, where they can dart and flash about in the open water. With a peaceful temperament, they coexist well with other species, making them suitable for community tanks. As omnivores, they require a varied diet that includes both meaty and plant-based foods to maintain their health and color. The Madagascar Flasher Wrasse is also reef compatible, making it an excellent choice for those looking to enhance the beauty of their reef setups.
