Description
The Nursalim Flasher Wrasse is a vibrant and peaceful marine fish, highly prized for its stunning coloration and elaborate 'flashing' courtship displays by males. Males exhibit brilliant yellow-orange bodies with iridescent blue stripes and elongated fin rays. This active species makes an excellent addition to a well-maintained reef aquarium.
