The Ruby Head Fairy Wrasse, also known as Cirrhilabrus rubripinnis, is a vibrant and colorful fish that originates from the Western Pacific Ocean. They are a popular choice for aquarists due to their unique appearance and active nature.
Ruby Head Fairy Wrasses are relatively small, with a maximum size of 3 inches, and require a minimum tank size of 30 gallons. They appreciate plenty of live rock and hiding places, as well as open swimming areas. They are also peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive fish.
These carnivores will eat a variety of meaty foods, including frozen and live foods, as well as high-quality flake and pellet foods. It's important to provide a varied diet to ensure they receive all the necessary nutrients for optimal health.
The Ruby Head Fairy Wrasse's unique characteristic is their vibrant red coloration on their head and dorsal fin, which contrasts with their blue and green body. Their active and playful nature make them a great addition to any reef or peaceful community aquarium.
