The Cirrhilabrus Wrasses are known for their stunning colors and resilience. Among them, the Yellow Band Velvet Fairy Wrasse stands out as particularly amazing. These wrasses thrive on a diverse diet, including frozen meaty foods, marine pellets, and occasional Nori Seaweed for variety. Due to their high activity levels, feeding them multiple times daily is recommended. However, it's crucial to note that they are prone to jumping, necessitating a securely covered aquarium. With an adult size of just 5 inches, Yellow Band Velvet Fairy Wrasses are highly sought after by hobbyists. Male specimens boast intense coloration, especially during courtship displays. In their natural habitat, they inhabit lagoon patch reefs in the Pacific Ocean, typically found at depths of up to 30 meters.
