Cirrhilabrus rubeus, commonly known as the Ruby Wrasse, is a captivating species prized for its vivid red coloration and graceful swimming behaviour. This pair is available in various sizes, suitable for marine aquarium enthusiasts looking to add a splash of colour and activity to their reef setups.

Temperament and Compatibility: Cirrhilabrus rubeus is a peaceful and social wrasse species, best kept in pairs or small groups. They coexist well with other non-aggressive tankmates and are considered reef safe, making them an excellent choice for community reef aquaria.

Tank Requirements: A minimum tank size of 120 litres (approximately 30 gallons) is recommended to provide ample swimming space and territory. The aquarium should have plenty of live rock for hiding and resting, as well as open swimming areas.

Water Parameters and Environment: Maintain stable marine conditions with a temperature range of 24-27°C, salinity between 1.023-1.025 SG, and a pH of 8.1-8.4. Moderate water flow and lighting suitable for reef tanks will support their natural behaviour and well-being.

Origin: Native to the Western Pacific region, Cirrhilabrus rubeus is a wild-caught species, so careful acclimation is essential to reduce stress.

Adding a pair of Cirrhilabrus rubeus to your marine aquarium will bring vibrant colour and dynamic movement, enhancing the overall beauty of your reef environment.
