Common Name

Also known as

Flasher Wrasse

Fast Facts

These wonderful fish make a fascinating display in the peaceful community tank. One of the most popular and best fish for a reef tank! Keep one male per tank. It should not be kept with other male flasher wrasses, unless the tank is very large. You can keep females together and a group of females with a single male. It is typically not aggressive toward non-related species, although large males may chase other zooplankton feeders. Males are most spectacular when they "flash" (display) toward other fishes or their reflections in the aquarium glass.
