Description
The Bluehead Fairy Wrasse is a vibrant and colorful saltwater fish that is popular in the aquarium trade. They are known for their striking coloration, with males having a bright blue head that gradually fades into a reddish-orange body. Females, on the other hand, are generally a more subdued reddish-brown color. They are active swimmers and require plenty of space to roam.
Reef Safe
Yes, the Bluehead Fairy Wrasse is considered reef safe and will not harm corals or invertebrates.
Environment
These fish prefer a well-lit aquarium with plenty of hiding places. They require a sandy substrate as they like to burrow when they feel threatened or when they are sleeping.
Behavior
Bluehead Fairy Wrasses are active and peaceful fish that get along well with other species. They are known to be jumpers, so a secure lid on the aquarium is necessary. Males are territorial and should not be kept with other males of the same species.
