Description
The Pylei Fairy Wrasse is a vividly colored wrasse species, known for its peaceful temperament and eye-catching hues of pink, purple, and red. It is a reef-safe addition that poses minimal risk to corals or invertebrates, making it a popular choice for reef aquariums. These wrasses are active swimmers and are best kept with other peaceful fish. The Pylei Fairy Wrasse thrives on a carnivorous diet, including mysis and brine shrimp, as well as high-quality marine pellets. A secure lid is recommended, as this wrasse is known to jump.
