Naoko’s Fairy Wrasse
Cirrhilabrus naokoae
Origin: Indonesia – Sulawesi and surrounding regions
Size: Up to 9 cm
Reef Compatibility:
Diet: Carnivore – feeds on zooplankton in the wild; in captivity, thrives on mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, copepods, and high-quality frozen or prepared marine foods.
Care Level: Moderate – hardy once acclimated but requires a covered tank as it is a strong jumper.
Aggression: Peaceful – generally reef-safe and community-friendly, but males may show displays toward other wrasses.
Captive-Bred Available: No
Notes:
Naoko’s Fairy Wrasse is a rare and striking wrasse with vibrant red striping along the dorsal region and a contrasting golden-yellow body. Best kept in tanks with plenty of swimming space and rockwork for retreat. Wrasses benefit from a sand bed for sleeping and resting but will adapt to bare-bottom tanks if hiding spaces are provided.
Why We Like It:
A true collector’s wrasse, Cirrhilabrus naokoae brings an exotic splash of colour and elegance to the reef aquarium. Active, peaceful, and stunning under reef lighting, it makes a prized addition for dedicated reef keepers.
