About this fish
About this fish
Blue Margin Fairy Wrasse Female is a saltwater wrasse for the home aquarium, listed as Cirrhilabrus pylei. As an active, colorful wrasse, it’s typically enjoyed for constant cruising behavior around the rockwork and for adding movement to a reef tank. In addition to being visually engaging, many wrasses are known to help control certain aquarium pests, making them a popular choice for reef-style setups that can support their swimming and feeding needs.
Features:
- Active, constantly moving wrasse that spends much of its time cruising the rockwork
- Often considered reef safe, making it a common fit for many community reef aquariums
- Can help control pests such as flatworms and bristle worms, supporting a cleaner-looking display
- Generally benefits from a sand bed, since many wrasses bury in the sand or hide in a mucus cocoon at night
- Needs a tight lid because wrasses are strong jumpers
- Best acclimated slowly and given a quiet spot initially to settle in
