Curator's Note

This is "new" species that was first described in 2009. See our Species Spotlight article on C. naokoae.

Description

Cirrhilabrus naokoae is a reef-associated, tropical wrasse from the eastern Indian Ocean, and it makes a fantastic aquarium fish. First described by Jack Randall and Dr. Hiroyuki Tanaka in January 2009, this is a fairly peaceful wrasse that is both active and hardy. It should do well with other fishes in a peaceful community reef or fish-only tank (especially other fairyt wrasses from the genus Cirrhilabrus). The female form is still undescribed, and no maximum adult size has yet been established. Most wrasses are known jumpers, and the wrasse ready aquarium should have a tight-fitting lid or eggcrate covering.

Diet

Though most wrasses are shy on initial introduction, they will become bold eaters and easily adjust to a captive diet. Feed a varied diet consisting of large chunks of meaty foods. These foods include krill, raw table shrimp, squid, clam, and mussel. It is also a good idea to occasionally supplement with some type of herbivore diet. This fish will learn to eat flake, pellet and other commercial foods.
