The Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse is a vibrant, active reef dweller prized for its dazzling colors and engaging behavior. Males display brilliant red and orange hues with striking blue markings, while females showcase more subdued coloration. This peaceful fish thrives in established reef tanks with plenty of rockwork and hiding spaces where it can dart and hover gracefully.

A true reef safe addition, the Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse feeds on small crustaceans and zooplankton. Provide varied foods including mysis shrimp, copepods, and quality flake foods. They prefer cooler water and benefit from strong water flow. Best kept singly or in pairs in larger systems. Reaching about 3 inches at maturity, they're ideal for mid-sized reef aquariums of 30 gallons or more. Hardy once acclimated, they add movement and natural color to any well-maintained setup.
