About
Cirrhilabrus scottorum — Scott's fairy wrasse — is widely considered one of the most brilliantly coloured fairy wrasses. Terminal males display vivid green, pink, and metallic blue patterns that intensify dramatically during courtship displays. It is a deeper-water species from the Cook Islands that does well in cooler (24–26°C) reef systems. Like all fairy wrasses it is peaceful, reef-safe, and benefits from harem keeping.
Care Guide
Light: any. Flow: moderate. TIGHT LID. Keep 1 male with 2–4 females. Feed: varied meaty diet. Best at 24–26°C. Reef-safe and peaceful.
