Description
Marjorie’s Fairy Wrasse is a stunning and vibrant species that captivates aquarium enthusiasts with its striking colors and graceful movements. Males are particularly notable for their bright red and white coloration, complemented by iridescent edges on their fins, making them a visual highlight in any marine aquarium.
This species is relatively peaceful, allowing it to coexist harmoniously with a variety of tank mates. However, it thrives in a well-maintained environment and requires a minimum tank size of 50 gallons to ensure adequate swimming space and territory.
Marjorie’s Fairy Wrasse is an omnivore, feeding on a diverse diet that includes high-quality flakes, pellets, and frozen foods. With proper care, including stable water conditions—such as a specific gravity of 1.020 to 1.025 and a temperature range of 72-78°F—this wrasse can thrive and add a splash of color to reef tanks. Additionally, it is considered reef compatible, making it an excellent choice for aquarists looking to enhance their underwater ecosystem.
