Product Details

The Lineatus Fairy Wrasse is one of the most strikingly colorful fish in the wrasse family. Known for its vibrant blend of pink, orange, and blue hues, this fish is highly prized among reef aquarium enthusiasts. Males, in particular, display even more brilliant coloration during courtship, making them a stunning addition to any reef tank.

Special Requirement - Secure Lid
Lineatus Fairy Wrasses are known to be jumpers, especially when startled. It is crucial to have a secure, tightly fitted lid on your aquarium to prevent them from jumping out of the tank. Without a lid, these fish are at risk of injury or death due to their active and excitable nature.

Typical Habitat

  • Distribution: The Lineatus Fairy Wrasse is found in the Western Pacific, particularly around the Coral Sea and Great Barrier Reef. It inhabits coral-rich areas and is often seen swimming in small groups around reef structures​.
