Sunset Fairy Wrasse: Male

Cirrhilabrus pylei. (Not on NODE).

The Sunset Fairy Wrasse is a variation of Cirrhilabrus pylei wrasse. Sunset Fairy Wrasse have more red in their bodies and are harder to find.

Sunset Fairy Wrasses reach a maximum adult size of around 5 inches and need to be kept in tanks that are at least 55 gallons in size. Sunset Fairy Wrasses are also strong jumpers, so it’s important that you keep them in tanks with a tight fitting lid with no holes large enough for them to jump through.

Sunset Fairy Wrasses are peaceful fish and should not bother other fish, coral or inverts in your tank. This makes them a great additional to most reef tanks. Sunset Fairy Wrasses do well in male female pairs, but might be aggressive to each other if two males are present. Sunset Fairy Wrasses tend to be more colorful when males, especially in their terminal phase.
