Added the Carpenter’s Flasher Wrasse to my 40-gallon reef tank. It’s active but not aggressive, and it blends well with the coral. Easy to observe and maintains a calm presence. Perfect for intermediate reef keepers.
Zoe Roberts –
Grew a small group of these wrasses in a 30-gallon tank. They don’t eat corals and are very peaceful. Only need moderate hiding spots and a stable water environment.

This wrasse has been in my tank for six months. It’s vibrant and active without causing stress to other fish. Water parameters are stable, and it’s easy to maintain.
