Reef Discussion

[potatocouch]

My fellow reefugees, i stumbled across one LFS over FB selling Darwin Glow Fairy Wrasse.

What's interesting is that it glows under UV, which I presume it will glow under Actinic and its price tag is considerably okay.

I have tried Googling but can't find much info on this species.

Do you know if they need DSB to sleep? What's their chance of survival in captivity? What's the minimum tank capacity?

It seems that they also readily takes flakes and frozen which is a plus and reef safe too.

Have any of you keep this fish in the past?

Assuming it's a Cirrhilabrus sp it will sleep in a mucus cocoon rather than the sand bed.
Given that it's a currently undescribed species you can probably make a few educated guesses about its care by looking at Cirrhilabrus in general.

Yeah best guess I suppose.
