Fijian Velvet Dwarf Parrot Wrasse, Cirrhilabrus scottorum.

An amazing pair of Fijian Velvet Dwarf Parrot Wrasse from the South Pacific, Great Barrier Reef to Pitcairn Group, but some geographical variations may represent separate species.

The male and female of this species are similarly colored, but when courting, the male will display increased color intensity. Colors may vary depending on the fish's mood.

This Wrasse is a very peaceful, active fish that will bring both colour and activity to a fish-only or reef aquarium of 90 gallons or larger. They will not bother any corals or invertebrates making them a perfect fish for the reef aquarium. These wrasses like to jump, so a tight fitting canopy is recommended.

Diet should include vitamin enriched frozen mysis shrimp, vitamin enriched frozen brine shrimp, and other meaty foods along with a high quality marine flake and marine pellet food.

Occurs in lagoons and outer reef habitats. Usually in small groups of females with fewer males when feeding above the sea bed on zooplankton. Juveniles on rubble substrates which stay close to the sea bed. Males are readily identified by their distinctive colours. Length to 10cm.
