Care guide at a glance
Cirrhilabrus scottorum
Description
A large fairy wrasse, males carrying a green flank patch over red and blue with a broad dorsal fin. Australian specimens carry the strongest colour.
Feeding
Planktivore. Frozen mysis, enriched brine shrimp and fine marine pellets, twice daily.
Compatibility
Reef safe and peaceful, though larger males can be assertive toward smaller fairy wrasses. One male with several females works best.
Behaviour and personality
Swims constantly in open water. Males flash brilliant green, red and blue during display.
Before you buy
One of the larger and more robust fairy wrasses. A sealed lid is essential, and it needs open swimming space above the rockwork.
