Description
Cirrhilabrus laboutei
The Cirrhilabrus Wrasse is a genus that contains reef safe and exquisitely colored species that are also known for being very hardy. When starting a new aquarium, the Laboute's Fairy Wrasse can live in groups, but should be added last since they can be harassed by others. They do best with a varied diet of frozen meaty foods and marine pellets. Nori Seaweed can be offered to add variety to their diet. Feeding them multiple times a day is recommended since they are very active. Beware: They are jumpers, so a covered aquarium is necessary. They have a small adult size of 5", which is also why they are so desired by hobbyists. Their colorations will bring a lot of attention. The Laboute's Fairy Wrasse inhabit seaward reef slopes in the Western Central Pacific up to 55 meters deep.
