The Red Tailed Flasher Wrasse is a newly imported member of the Paracheilinus genus (Paracheilinus rubricaudalis) which boasts a wide red patch with a striking single line on its dorsal fin. With males displaying captivating reddish stripes that transition to a bright yellow body during courtship, this fish truly lives up to its name. The peaceful nature of the Red Tailed Flasher Wrasse makes it an excellent addition to both fish-only and reef aquariums, as it won't harm corals or invertebrates. Its active behavior and ever-changing colors will bring life and beauty to a tank of 40 gallons or larger. Keep a single male alongside a group of females to witness their captivating courtship displays. Don't forget to provide a secure canopy to prevent these wrasses from jumping!

Feed your Red Tailed Flasher Wrasse a regular and nutritious diet to maintain its health and vitality. This species thrives on two to three feedings per day, as they primarily consume zooplankton, brine shrimp, mysis shrimp and other meaty foods. With their limited interest in picking at organisms on live rock, it's important to ensure they are fed frequently to ensure their well-being in a reef tank.
