Description

The Orange Back Fairy Wrasse, *Cirrhilabrus aurantidorsalis*, is a vibrant and active addition to a marine aquarium. This species is known for its striking coloration, featuring a brilliant orange stripe along its back that contrasts beautifully with its other hues.

A minimum tank size of 50 gallons is recommended for the Orange Back Fairy Wrasse. They are native to the Indo-Pacific region and are considered to have an intermediate level of care. These wrasses are generally peaceful and can be kept with a variety of other non-aggressive marine fish. They are active swimmers and will appreciate plenty of open space to roam, as well as ample rockwork for hiding and sleeping.

In the aquarium, the Orange Back Fairy Wrasse will readily accept a varied diet of high-quality marine flake food, pellet food, frozen mysis shrimp, and enriched brine shrimp. Offering a diverse diet will help maintain their vibrant colors and overall health. They are known to be jumpers, so a tight-fitting lid is essential.
