The Fairy and Flasher style wrasses
in this grouping below are found throughout tropical Indo-Pacific
shallow waters swimming two to eight feet above sand or rocky
substrata. Most can be found in depths ranging from 10 - 75 feet,
although a few rarer ones are found deeper than 150 feet. Generally,
these fishes form aggregations of one dominant male and several
(or more) females, and they spend the better part of their day
feeding on zooplankton. The males are always larger and more
colorful than the females and will flash or display more vibrant
colors during courtship.
Blue Streak
Cleaner Wrasse

fishes' skin in a mutualist relationship that provides food and
protection for the wrasse, and considerable health benefits for
the other fish.

Wrasse Halichoeres melanurus
One of
the best problem solvers for Planaria flatworms and in reef aquariums.
Description: One of the best kept
secrets in the hobby, the Melanurus Wrasse is one of the best

also protects both corals and clams by eating fireworms. Forget
medications that can harm or damage your delicate motile invertebrates!
The Melanurus Wrasse will consume flatworms and you will see
the difference within a matter of a couple of days. Once the
flatworms are gone you have an attractive, friendly fish that
will readily adjust to a captive diet and frequent the water
column with activity. TAlso
known as the Pinstriped Fairy Wrasse, this hard to find fish
is occasionally exported from Hawaii and Micronesia.This is a
good aquarium fish that is occasionally available to the trade.
It can be housed with a wide-range of fish species and rarely
bothers tankmates. Provide this species with a layer of sand
on the aquarium bottom.

Six Line
Wrasse Pseudocheilinus hexataenia
Description:The Six Line Wrasse is
a popular is a popular Wrasse species among marine aquarists
keeping either reef aquariums or FOWLR community aquariums. Six
Line Wrasse have very vibrant coloration with 6 distinct blue
horizontal blue lines overtop of a base orange body with a green
tailfin. Six Line Wrasse are more than just a colorful fish species,
but a very active species as well. They will spend much of their
time swimming about the aquarium darting in and out of rocky
caves and crevices looking for small food items on which to prey.
Their active swimming style makes them almost as popular with
marine aquarium hobbyists as their vibrant coloration. Six Line
Wrasse are considered a "reef safe" Wrasse species,
that is unlikely to bother most corals. They will generally spend
their time hunting for small micro faunae, small crustaceans,
flatworms or bristle worms. It is their propensity for eating
bristle worms that has made them a sought after species for may
aquarists who are trying to keep bristle worm populations in
check. While generally a peaceful species, Six Line Wrasse will
show aggression towards other of their own kind (unless a mated
pair) and other similarly sized and shaped fish species.
Recommended
It is best
to keep this species with plenty of live rock and horizontal
swimming room, so that they can patrol a suitable territory and
limit aggression towards others. The Six Line Wrasse also benefits
from the presence of a refugium, as a strong population of copepods,
amphipods and other micro faunae will provide them an excellent
food source and curb aggression. Like most Wrasse, the Six Line
Wrasse is quite capable of defending itself against larger more
boisterous species as its speed and maneuverability make it a
difficult species to pick on or bully.
Food and
diet: Six Line Wrasse are very active feeders
that will generally spend the majority of the day cruising up
and down the reef looking for food items on which to feed. In
an aquarium with a sufficient population of micro faunae, the
Six Line Wrasse will need only supplemental feedings of various
meaty foods. Their overall diet should consist of a variety of
meaty items including: vitamin enriched meaty frozen preparations,
brine shrimp, mysis shrimp or flake or pellet foods formulated
for carnivores.

in controlling pyramidellid snails and commensal flatworms.

Description:The Pink Margine fairy
wrasse, Cirrhilabrus rubrimarginatus, is a highly sought-after,
yet rarely imported, specimen. The lack of importation is likely
due to the depths at which this fish spends the majority of its
time. They primarily reside below 100 feet deep, and have been
found in depths nearing 200 feet. Specimens that make it to the
aquarium trade are most likely collected from Fiji, though this
species is also found in Tonga and Southern Japan. Males are
usually shades of blue, purple, or red with a broad stroke of
yellow just in front of the red on their tail. Yellow spots fade
to pink as they stretch from the head back to the tail.

Scotts
Fairy Wrasse Cirrhilabrus
scottorum
Description: Scott's Fairy Wrasse
is a truly stunning fish displaying almost any color you can
imagine. Like in all fairy wrasses, the males display the best
coloration. They are however protogynous hermaphrodites so it
is not 100% correct to speak about true males or females as all
fish are born females and then develop into males if conditions
are right. It is an easy to care for fish and Scott's Fairy Wrasse
can be a good beginner fish if you disregard the high price.
It is reef safe and rather friendly which makes it ideal for
a community reef tank. It can be somewhat aggressive toward some
species of dottybacks, basslets and longfins. Several females
can be kept in the same tank without any problem, but only keep
one male unless the aquarium is very large (at least 200 gallons.

to swim through for pleasure and also for areas to hide when

Description: The African Splendid
Leopard Wrasse is very colorful. Also known as the Peacock Splendid
Wrasse, Blue Star Leopard Wrasse, and Divided Leopard Wrasse.
Once adjusted to aquarium life, the African Leopard Wrasse is
a wonderful peaceful community fish that can even be housed with
others of the same genus. This is also one of the few wrasses
that can be kept with its own species. In both cases however,
they are harmonious as long the mix is all females with just
one male. The Leopard Wrasse has a variety of curious behaviors.
They perform a little dance that is really strange to a possible
predator. Often this dance antic works to the point the predator
basically thinks the fish is nuts and moves on. Burrowing into
the sand is their favorite sleeping arrangement. Some say you
can set your watch by their bedtime! In the morning, they poke
their head out to make sure the coast is clear and then they
will fully emerge. When first emerging, they will be a little
on the loopy side until they get their bearing, up to 10 minutes
later.

ReefPods™ Tisbe by AlgaGen Excellent
food for Mandarins, Blennies, Gobies, Seahorses, and many other
finicky eating fish
ReefPods™ Tisbe the most popular aquarium
Pod -they consumes your aquarium’s wastes and detritus,
reproduce well, and are food for a multitude of reef inhabitants!
ReefPods™ Tisbe is a live culture of the harpacticoid copepod
Tisbe biminiensis. Tisbe adult copepods live on bottom substrate
such as live rock or sand and will eat detritus and microalage
in the aquarium. They produce a small nauplii which is an excellent
food for aquarium filter feeders and fish larvae. The adults
are eaten by small bottom feeding fish such as gobies, dragonettes
and blennies.
ReefPods™ Tisbe may be used as a starter
culture to add to marine aquarium
refugiums or the main tank. Once established they will reproduce
quickly, growing from nauplii to adults in about nine days. They
will thrive in a wide range of aquarium temperatures and a wide
range of salinities. It is suggested they be added to the aquarium
at night or to the refugium to avoid immediate fish predation.
Tisbe is an excellent all purpose aquarium
copepod owing to its role in the natural
environment as a detritivore. An opportunist feeder, Tisbe can
be used as a tank cleaner consuming uneaten food and wastes as
well as phytoplankton in the tank and refugium. Tisbe is capable
of producing many eggs during its adult life span that hatch
into nauplii which will enter the water column as food for your
filter feeding reef inhabitants and replenish the adult population
vital to tank hygiene. Tisbe adults and juveniles may also enter
the water column and be tasty and nutritious treats for your
reef fish!
Photos are representative of each species. Each animal is unique
