This species is celebrated for its brilliant, deep red fins and a body that shimmers with shades of pink, yellow, and red-orange, making it a beautiful and active addition to any peaceful marine aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative to the Western Central Pacific, particularly around the Philippines and Indonesia, this wrasse is a planktivore that stays relatively small, reaching a maximum adult length of about \u003cstrong\u003e3 to 3.5 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e (8-9 cm). The male is significantly more colorful than the female, showcasing a broader red pattern and characteristic \u003cstrong\u003elong, filamentous red ventral (pelvic) fins\u003c\/strong\u003e which are used in dramatic courtship displays known as \"flashing.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike its cousins in the Fairy Wrasse group, the \u003cstrong\u003eRedfin Fairy Wrasse\u003c\/strong\u003e is a constant, energetic swimmer that requires plenty of open water, though its smaller size makes it suitable for tanks starting at \u003cstrong\u003e40 to 55 gallons\u003c\/strong\u003e. A \u003cstrong\u003etightly fitted screen top or lid is essential\u003c\/strong\u003e, as this species is a notorious jumper when startled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\n\u003ch4\u003eDiet \u0026amp; Compatibility:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e This fish is a dedicated \u003cstrong\u003eCarnivore\u003c\/strong\u003e (planktivore). Due to its active nature and fast metabolism, it must be fed frequently, ideally \u003cstrong\u003e2 to 3 times per day\u003c\/strong\u003e. Offer a varied diet of high-quality, small, meaty frozen foods, such as enriched mysis shrimp, frozen copepods, brine shrimp, and finely chopped seafood. It will readily accept high-quality marine flake and pellet foods once acclimated.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e It is considered \u003cstrong\u003eCompletely Reef Safe\u003c\/strong\u003e. The Redfin Fairy Wrasse focuses its hunting on tiny invertebrates and plankton in the water column and will ignore corals and most sessile invertebrates. It is generally safe with ornamental shrimp, though the risk is never zero when introducing any wrasse.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e It is \u003cstrong\u003ePeaceful to Semi-Aggressive\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is peaceful toward most fish but may exhibit territoriality or aggression toward other wrasses, especially those of similar size, coloration, or species (congeners). It is best kept singly, as a male-female pair, or as a harem (one male with multiple females) in larger tanks. Do not attempt to house two males together unless in a very large system (100+ gallons) with plenty of line-of-sight barriers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSleeping Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e This wrasse \u003cstrong\u003esleeps in a mucus cocoon\u003c\/strong\u003e within the live rock and does not require a sand bed for burrowing, although it may hide in the substrate when newly introduced or highly stressed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\n\u003ch3\u003eQuick Facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cirrhilabrus rubripinnis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Common Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Redfin Fairy Wrasse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOther Common Names:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ruby-Finned Fairy Wrasse, Red Parrot Fairy Wrasse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Western Central Pacific (Philippines, Indonesia)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-3.5 inches (8-9 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTemperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e Peaceful (Active Jumper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carnivore (Planktivore, needs frequent feeding)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Tank Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40-55+ Gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReef Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes (Safe with all corals and most invertebrates)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SLA","offers":[{"title":"Large (2-3\")","offer_id":67893177811176,"sku":"doj1791986723601","price":64.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium (1 - 2\")","offer_id":67893177843944,"sku":"idu1791986723602","price":47.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/4570\/4424\/files\/redfin-fairy-wrasse_1.webp?v=1791986732","url":"https:\/\/glitzdrapefit.shop\/products\/redfin-fairy-wrasse","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
