The flame fairy wrasse, scientific name Cirrhilabrus Jordani is a peaceful fish. Their minimum tank size is 60 gallons. Flame fairy wrasses can grow up to 4” and can live up to 8 years. Flame fairy wrasses are carnivores and should be fed frozen meaty foods such as brine or mysis shrimp. Flame fairys should be kept singly, in mated pairs or small herums with one male and multiple females. Keeping multiple of the same species requires adequate space and rockwork. All fairy wrasses start as females, if there is multiple kept together and no male is present, the dominant female will turn into a male. Males are yellow and red while females are all red. Flame fairys can be kept with other fairies/wrasses. Flame fairy wrasses are reef safe, they will not bother coral or invertebrates. Fairy wrasses sleep in the rocks and will be swimming throughout the tank during the day. Wrasses are known for jumping and require a tight fighting lid.
