Description
A prized, deep-water fairy wrasse in which supermales show a golden-bronze to rose body overlaid with a tessellated diamond (rhomboid) scale pattern, blue-violet fin margins, and a lanceolate tail; females are plainer pink-tan with the same scale pattern. Peaceful and constantly active in the middle-to-upper water column, it is fully reef safe with corals and does best in a mature tank with open swimming room, rockwork crevices, and calm tankmates. Feed small meaty foods two to three times daily, keep only one Cirrhilabrus species per tank unless the system is large, and use a tight-fitting lid because these wrasses jump readily.
Reef Safe
Yes
Environment
The Golden Rhomboid Wrasse requires a well-maintained aquarium with stable water parameters, plenty of live rock for hiding and foraging, and a sandy substrate. It prefers a temperature range of 72-78°F and a pH of 8.1-8.4.
Behavior
This species is generally peaceful and active, often seen swimming gracefully throughout the tank. It can coexist well with other non-aggressive fish species.
