Description
The Scott’s Fairy Wrasse (Bali/Philippines) variety is renowned for its stunning combination of green, red, and blue hues that lend it a tropical appeal. Native to the Indo-Pacific waters around Bali and the Philippines, this wrasse is an active and lively addition to reef tanks, contributing both color and movement. It is generally peaceful but may become semi-aggressive with other wrasses, especially if the tank is small. Ideal for intermediate aquarists, this species thrives on a carnivorous diet, including various meaty foods. A tank with ample space and rock structures for hiding enhances its quality of life, making it a colorful and manageable choice for diverse marine setups.
