Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse

Special requirements

• Jump Prevention

  Requires a tight-fitting lid as this species is a known jumper.

• Courtship Display

  Adult male colors intensify significantly during courtship; keeping a group with females often encourages these displays.

• Introduction Strategy

  If kept in a group, females should be introduced first. Because it is often harassed, it should be the first species introduced to the aquarium.

• Sexual Dimorphism

  Males feature three elongated dorsal rays and vibrant colors, whereas females are smaller and more subdued in appearance.
