Care
The Scott's Fairy Wrasse grows to about 6", and is an active swimmer requiring a tank of 90 gallons or larger. As with most fairy wrasses, once acclimated, they're generally a hardy and easy to keep species. They are reef safe, and usually won't bother invertebrates like many wrasse species. Unlike some wrasse don't require sand, preferring to sleep in a slime cocoon at night tucked into the rock. A well fitted cover should be provided to prevent this species from jumping.
Diet
Scott's Fairy Wrasse are carnivores, and should be provided with a diet rich in meaty frozen foods.
