Pink Margin Wrasse

The Pink Margin Wrasse is a robust and colorful fairy wrasse distinguished by the distinctive pink to red margins on its dorsal and anal fins. Males display a striking combination of green, blue, and yellow on the body with vivid pink-red edges on the fins that create a beautiful contrast. The overall effect is one of refined elegance rather than flashy brilliance. Females are more subdued with a pinkish body and yellow highlights.

This is one of the more robust fairy wrasses in the genus, reaching up to five inches and possessing a stockier build than many of its more delicate relatives. This hardiness translates well to aquarium keeping, as the Pink Margin Wrasse adapts readily to captive conditions and is moderately easy to maintain. It is a reliable choice for aquarists who want a fairy wrasse that is both beautiful and resilient.

Completely reef-safe and peaceful, the Pink Margin Wrasse is an excellent community fish that coexists well with a wide range of tankmates. It swims actively throughout the middle and upper water column and performs regular color-flashing displays. A secure lid, moderate water flow, and multiple daily feedings of planktonic foods are essential for long-term success with this species.
