Description
The Filamentous Flasher Wrasse is a vibrant and active marine fish, known for its striking coloration of orange, blue, and yellow, especially during male 'flashing' displays. Males also feature elongated, filamentous rays on their dorsal fin. This peaceful species is a great addition to a reef aquarium, spending its time darting among rockwork.
