Behavior & Husbandry

Blue Sided Fairy Wrasses are highly active swimmers that spend much of their time cruising through the water column and weaving through rockwork. They thrive in peaceful reef systems with stable water conditions, strong oxygenation, and ample swimming space.

Their coloration often intensifies as they mature and acclimate to a healthy reef aquarium.
