Scott's Fairy Wrasse Australian

| Common Name | Scott's Fairy Wrasse Australian | ||||||
| Also known as | Scotts Fairy, Scotts Velvet Wrasse, Australian Scotts Wrasse, Scott's Fairy Wrasse | ||||||
| Fast Facts | AVAILABILITY NOTE This is a rare and popular item. Be prepared to jump on it immediately when available because it's a small window of opportunity to grab one once we say "we have one". The Australian color variant of Cirrhilabrus scottorum is larger and more impressive than those from other areas. They generally have a brighter orange dorsal fin and belly, and are typically collected at an impressive larger size, and have much greater "WOW" factor than Scott's wrasse originating from any other area! Compared to other locations, very small quantities are collected from Australia, and they are not regularly available. Being a plankton feeder, they have no interest in corals or clams, and make an excellent choice for the reef aquarium. AVAILABILITY NOTE If you'd like an Australian Scott's Fairy Wrasse, we suggest contcting us in advance, as these fish are not regularly available, and when they are, they sell very fast. |
