  • Description
  • The Purple Velvet Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus luteovittatus), also known as the Yellowstreaked Fairy Wrasse or Velvet Multicolor Fairy Wrasse, is a stunningly beautiful fish found in the Western Pacific Ocean, particularly around Fiji and Tonga. Male Purple Velvet Wrasses are known for their vibrant maroon bodies with a distinctive horizontal yellow streak, while females exhibit a more subdued palette of olive green and purplish-blue hues. These fish are often found in small groups in lagoons and channels over coral or stands of macroalgae, adding a splash of color to their natural habitat.

    In aquariums, the Purple Velvet Wrasse is a popular choice for its beauty and relatively peaceful nature. They are active swimmers and require ample space to explore their surroundings. A well-maintained aquarium with plenty of live rock and hiding places will provide them with a comfortable environment. As carnivores, they should be fed a diet of vitamin-enriched frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and other meaty foods. While generally hardy, it's important to note that acclimating adult males can be challenging and may require live food to entice them to eat. With proper care and attention, the Purple Velvet Wrasse will thrive and showcase its mesmerizing beauty, making it a captivating addition to any saltwater aquarium.
