Description
The Pennant Fairy Wrasse is a stunning, vibrantly colored saltwater fish native to the Indo-Pacific region. It is known for its striking colors and distinct pennant-like dorsal fin which is more pronounced in males. This fish is a popular choice among aquarists due to its peaceful nature and ability to adapt well to captivity.
Reef Safe?
Yes. However, they may disturb some soft corals and clam mantles with their foraging behavior.
Environment
The Pennant Fairy Wrasse thrives in a well-established reef environment with plenty of hiding spots and open water for swimming. It prefers a brightly lit tank with moderate to strong water flow.
Behavior
This fish is known for its peaceful and social behavior. It generally gets along well with other species in a community tank, although males can be territorial with other wrasses. It is also known to be a jumper, so a well-sealed tank is necessary.

Very beautiful fish in my opinion is the saltwater version of a betta fish, they are very active and swim a lot, so a spacious tank setup would be recommended. Like most wrasses it is known to be a jumper so a lid is highly recommended as well!
