The Filamented Flasher Wrasse is a great choice for any aquarist looking for a peaceful, active fish for their aquarium. This species is a colorful addition to reef or fish-only aquariums of 55 gallons or more, and they are extremely unlikely to bother any corals or invertebrates. It is best to introduce a group of females before or at the same time as the male, and a tight fitting canopy is essential due to their tendency to jump. With proper care, these wrasses can live for many years in a healthy aquarium.
Introducing live saltwater feeder shrimp into the aquarium can help entice your fish to eat. Feed them a variety of feeder shrimp, flaked foods, and marine meats to get them started.
