Description
The Yellowfin Flasher Wrasse is a vibrant and active saltwater fish, with males displaying spectacular colors and fin extensions during their 'flashing' courtship rituals. They are generally peaceful and an excellent choice for reef aquariums, adding movement and color. These wrasses primarily feed on zooplankton in the water column.
