The Blue Throat Fairy Wrasse is non-aggressive towards most tankmates and makes an excellent community fish. It can, however, be aggressive toward other males of its own species or closely related Cirrhilabrus wrasses. It's best kept as a single male or in a harem (one male and multiple females) introduced simultaneously.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReef Compatibility: 100% Reef Safe. This wrasse is a dedicated zooplankton feeder and will not harm corals, clams, or sessile invertebrates. It may prey on tiny microfauna but is safe with ornamental shrimp and snails.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiet: Carnivore\/Zooplankton Feeder. Given its high metabolism and constant activity, it requires a varied, meaty diet offered in small quantities 3-4 times per day. Feed high-quality enriched frozen foods (mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, copepods) and quality marine pellets or flakes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTank Requirements:\n\u003cul style=\"margin:1em 0\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLid: A tight-fitting lid is absolutely essential.
