Magma Fairy Wrasse
Transform Your Tank with Living Lava in Motion
Looking for a truly rare reef centerpiece? The Magma Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus shutmani) is one of the most coveted deep-reef species in the hobby — a blazing palette of crimson, orange, and molten gold that commands attention the moment it enters the water column. Collected from restricted depths in the Indo-Pacific, this species surfaces in the trade infrequently, making every availability a genuine event. If you've been searching to buy a Magma Fairy Wrasse online from a source you can trust, this is your moment.
Reaching up to 3.5 inches at full maturity, this mid-water swimmer is active, bold, and endlessly engaging — darting through rockwork and open space with equal confidence. Males in particular develop increasingly dramatic coloration as they mature, rewarding patient aquarists with a display that intensifies over time. Peaceful toward most tankmates and a strong, consistent eater, it's an ideal exotic marine species for any established reef tank or saltwater aquarium with compatible inhabitants.
