Pylei Wrasse (2.25 Inch)

Transform Your Tank with a True Collector's Centerpiece

Looking for something genuinely rare in the hobby? The Pylei Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus pylei) is one of the most sought-after deepwater wrasses in the reef-keeping world — a stunning species prized for its vivid magenta, violet, and gold patterning that seems almost too vibrant to be real. Collected from deeper Pacific reefs and rarely available in this size and condition, this is the kind of specimen that stops visitors in their tracks. If you've been searching to buy Pylei Wrasse online from a source you can trust, your search ends here.

At 2.25 inches, this specimen is at an ideal size — past the fragile juvenile stage and actively feeding, yet still young enough to adapt beautifully to a new reef tank environment. Pylei Wrasses are active, bold swimmers that bring constant motion and color to the mid and upper water column of a saltwater aquarium. They reward attentive aquarists with their personality and relatively peaceful disposition, making them an excellent centerpiece for a species-focused or community reef tank.
