Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse is a vibrant and hardy flasher wrasse that is highly recommended for any reef community. Males are particularly stunning, displaying three long filaments on their dorsal fin and vivid red and orange colors that "flash" when they are excited. They are active, peaceful, and do best in an environment with plenty of swimming room and a few females of the same species to encourage their natural display behavior.
