These fairy wrasses are some of our favorite fish for any reef aquarium! Super colorful, peaceful, usually easy to keep and relatively inexpensive. What more could you ask for in an aquarium fish. 🙂

Overview
The male Bali Lubbock’s Fairy Wrasse has a bright yellow and red body with blue, brown, and white ornamentation. The females generally do not have quite as bold markings as the males. When courting, the male will display an increased color intensity.
A 50 gallon or larger aquarium, either fish-only or reef, with a shaded area is recommended. The Lubbock’s Fairy Wrasse will not bother fish or invertebrates, making them a perfect addition to any reef aquarium. These fish do like to jump, so a tight fitting canopy is required.
The Lubbock’s Fairy Wrasse diet should include enriched frozen shrimp, and other meaty foods along with a high quality marine flake and marine pellet food.
Approximate Purchase Sizes: Small: 1-1/4″ to 2″; Medium: 2″ to 3″; Large: 3″ to 4″
