Magma Fairy Wrasse

Magma Fairy Wrasse

Snapshot: With its molten-red hues and lava-inspired glow, it's no mystery why this wrasse rocks the name “Magma Fairy.”

 

Other tidbits: Can grow up to 7cm or so. Distributed throughout the volcanic reef slopes of the Northern Philippines. Officially named Cirrhilabrus Shutmani, this beauty pays tribute to Barnett Shutman, the man behind the lens and the specimens that helped put this fish on the marine biology map.

 

Bare bones must know: Live-rock fish only system or reef aquarium. Thick, sandy substrate.
