The Carpenter Flasher Wrasse is a beautiful pink-red, reef safe fish with blue striping and elongated doesal rays. This fish will appreciate and readily accept a variety of meaty frozen foods. A lid is recommended as this fish can easily jump out of a tank. Do not mix with fish that are too aggressive or with other Flasher Wrasses. Plenty of room to swim, and ample rock work is needed for this fish.
