Care guide at a glance
Cirrhilabrus lineatus
Description
One of the largest and most spectacular fairy wrasses, the males patterned in red, blue and yellow lines with a tall flag-like dorsal fin.
Feeding
Planktivore. Frozen mysis, enriched brine shrimp and fine marine pellets, twice daily.
Compatibility
Reef safe and peaceful. Best as one male with several females. Can be intimidated by aggressive wrasses.
Behaviour and personality
Swims constantly above the rockwork. Males flash extraordinary display colour, most often in the late afternoon.
Before you buy
Fairy wrasses are committed jumpers and a sealed lid is essential. They do not bury in sand, so no deep sand bed is needed.
