Cirrhilabrus Jordani AKA Flame Fairy Wrasse
Flame Wrasse, Cirrhilabrus jordani, is a native of the Pacific Ocean specifically Hawaii.
This carnivore readily adapts to aquarium life when offered a wide variety of meaty foods such as Brine Shrimp and zooplankton. It will reach a mature size of approximately 4 inches and is highly recommended for a reef aquarium. A sand bed and Live Rock should be provided for all Wrasses. They will bury themselves in the sand to sleep or hide. Live Rock provides numerous small life forms that the Wrasses consider a tasty treat as well as another place to hide when they feel threatened.
A 90 gallon or larger aquarium, either fish-only or reef, with a shaded area is recommended. The Flame Wrasse will not bother corals or invertebrates, which makes them the ideal fish for a reef aquarium. These fish do like to jump, so a tight fitting canopy is required.
