Why We Like It:

True to its name, the Exquisite Wrasse combines vibrant greens, reds, blues, and yellows into one constantly shifting display of colour. Active, peaceful, and completely reef safe, it brings nonstop movement to the upper water column. Hardy and adaptable, it’s one of the best larger fairy wrasses for mixed reef systems and works well as a centrepiece in peaceful communities.
