The Yellow-Flanked Fairy Wrasse is a vibrant and eye-catching fish, known for its striking blue, yellow, and red patterns. Males of this species are particularly vivid in color. These wrasses grow up to 4 inches and require a minimum tank size of 90 gallons. They are peaceful and coexist well with other fish, corals, and invertebrates, making them ideal for reef aquariums. However, they are excellent jumpers, so a tightly sealed tank lid is essential to prevent escapes.

The Yellow-Flanked Fairy Wrasse thrives in pairs or small groups. Males can be aggressive towards each other, so it's best to keep either all females or one male with several females. In the absence of a male, the dominant female can transform into a male. These wrasses benefit from tanks with plenty of live rock, providing them with small invertebrates to snack on and places to hide and rest.

As carnivores, Yellow-Flanked Fairy Wrasses require a diet rich in meaty foods. Feeding them mysis and brine shrimp, along with high-quality flake, pellet, and frozen foods, will ensure their health and happiness.
