Description
The Social Wrasse is a small, vibrant fairy wrasse known for its striking red, orange, and yellow coloration. These active and peaceful fish are excellent additions to established reef aquariums, often seen gracefully swimming among live rock and corals. They are best kept in groups or a harem with a single male.
