Reaching up to 4 inches in length, **Orange-Back Fairy Wrasses** require a minimum tank size of 75 gallons. They are peaceful and coexist well with other fish, corals, and invertebrates, making them ideal for reef aquariums. As they are known to be strong jumpers, it's crucial to house them in tanks with secure lids to prevent escape.
