Cirrihilabrus scottorum, commonly known as Scott’s Fairy Wrasse, is a visually captivating species prized for its vibrant coloration and graceful swimming behaviour. This Extra Large specimen offers a striking addition to mature marine aquariums, showcasing intense hues and dynamic patterns that enhance any reef setup.

Temperament and Compatibility: This species is generally peaceful and best kept with similarly non-aggressive tank mates. It is suitable for community reef tanks but may show mild territorial behaviour towards conspecifics or similar wrasse species. Avoid housing with overly aggressive fish to maintain harmony.

Diet: Cirrihilabrus scottorum thrives on a varied diet consisting of high-quality frozen or live foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and finely chopped seafood. Supplementing with marine flake or pellet foods formulated for carnivorous marine fish supports optimal health.

Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 120 litres (approximately 30 gallons) is recommended to provide ample swimming space and territory. Well-established aquariums with plenty of live rock offer natural hiding places and foraging opportunities.

Water Parameters and Environment: Maintain stable marine conditions with temperature between 24-27°C, salinity at 1.023-1.025 SG, and pH 8.1-8.4. Moderate water flow and moderate lighting are ideal to mimic their natural reef habitat.

Reef Compatibility: This species is considered reef safe and can be kept in reef aquariums without risk to corals or invertebrates, provided it is well-fed and stress-free.

Cirrihilabrus scottorum Extra Large is a premium choice for marine aquarists seeking a peaceful, colourful wrasse that adds vibrancy and life to their reef environment.
