Similar to most wrasses, the Yellow Fin Fairy Wrasse should be kept in a tank with a nice sandy substrate as well as plentiful amounts of live rock allowing the wrasse to hide and explore. It is important that the tank has a tightly secured lid to prevent potential escapes. They eat a carnivorous diet consisting of zooplankton, brine and mysis shrimp, copepods as well as quality pellet and flake food. The Yellow Fin Fairy Wrasse should be fed several times a day. This is a reef-safe species with most fish including other wrasses, but should not be kept with members of its own species unless in a 150 gallon or more tank. It should not be paired with aggressive and territorial fish.

Overall the Yellow Fin Fairy Wrasse is a spectacular fish for beginner or expert aquarists alike because they are hardy, relatively easy to keep, and incredibly active in the tank making for a fascinating specimen to watch.
