Care & aquarium requirements

Wrasses are one of the largest and most diverse families in the trade, spanning budget cleaners to spectacular premium fairy and flasher wrasses. This range makes them invaluable to a buyer: there is a wrasse for every price point and every customer. Most are active, colourful and hardy once settled.

Compatibility & reef behaviour

Reef compatibility varies across the family — fairy and flasher wrasses are reef-safe, while some larger wrasses may hunt small invertebrates. Two universal traits: most are accomplished jumpers, so tanks must be covered, and many sand-dwellers burrow to sleep. See our wrasse buyer guide.

Export packaging & shipping

Each specimen is conditioned and purged before packing, then bagged in clean, temperature-matched saltwater and charged with pure oxygen for the journey. Bags are insulated in polystyrene boxes and routed for the shortest reliable transit to your airport, helping us hold DOA below 2%. For more on how we keep losses low, see our guides on professional packing and mortality prevention.
