What Makes This Fish Special?

The Pink Margin Fairy Wrasse is prized for its remarkable coloration and elegant appearance. Mature males develop vibrant pink highlights along the fins and body that contrast beautifully with their yellow, green, and blue coloration.

Their active nature and tendency to remain visible throughout the day make them one of the most rewarding wrasse species to own.

During display behavior, males often intensify their coloration and may exhibit beautiful flashing displays, creating an ever-changing display of color and movement within the aquarium.

Behavior & Husbandry

Pink Margin Fairy Wrasses are active swimmers that spend most of their day cruising through the water column and exploring rockwork.

They are generally peaceful and do well in community reef aquariums with other non-aggressive fish. They can often be housed alongside other fairy and flasher wrasses when introduced appropriately.

Like all fairy wrasses, they do not bury in the sand but require a secure lid or screen top, as they are known jumpers.

They thrive in established aquariums with stable water quality, strong oxygenation, and ample swimming space.
