Overview
The Pink Margin Fairy Wrasse originates from the waters ranging from southern Japan to Indonesia, and occurs in small groups on the reef. The Pink Margin Fairy Wrasse is a very colorful fish displaying a multitude of colors including the red margin on both the tail and dorsal fin. The male of this species is more brilliantly colored when compared to both the female and the juvenile, and when courting, will display increased color intensity. Colors may vary depending on the fish's mood.
The Pink Margin Fairy Wrasse is a very peaceful, active fish that will bring both color and activity to a fish-only or reef aquarium of 90 gallons or larger. They will not bother any corals or invertebrates making them a perfect fish for the reef aquarium. These wrasse like to jump, so a tight fitting canopy is recommended.
The Pink Margin Fairy Wrasse diet should include vitamin enriched frozen mysis shrimp, vitamin enriched frozen brine shrimp, and other meaty foods along with a high quality marine flake and marine pellet food.
