Fairy Wrasse

Cirrhilabrus lubbocki

Fairy Wrasses are brilliantly colored small wrasses — males display an extraordinary range of reds, blues, oranges, and purples. They are active, non-aggressive, and reef-safe, making them among the most hobbyist-friendly wrasses for community reef systems. Males will constantly flash their vivid colors when kept with females, creating a living color show.
