Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura – Blue-sided Fairy Wrasse
The Blue-sided Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus cyanopleura) is a lively mid‑water hunter known for its vibrant nuptial colors and constant activity. It thrives in well‑structured reef aquariums with ample rockwork and open water.
Best kept in groups or a harem (one male with several females). Generally peaceful with calm tankmates; males may display toward similarly colored wrasses.
Readily accepts fine frozen foods (Mysis, copepods, Artemia) and quality small pellets. Several small meals per day help maintain activity and coloration.
