Chaoti Wrasse

Chaoti Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus chaoti) – Vibrant Reef-Safe Wrasse

The Chaoti Wrasse (Cirrhilabrus chaoti) is a stunning and highly sought-after fairy wrasse prized for its vivid coloration, graceful swimming behavior, and peaceful temperament. Featuring electric reds, oranges, and purples accented with shimmering iridescence, this wrasse brings constant motion and eye-catching beauty to any reef aquarium.

Native to deeper reef slopes of the Western Pacific, the Chaoti Wrasse thrives in established reef systems with plenty of rockwork and open swimming space. Like other fairy wrasses, it is completely reef safe, posing no threat to corals or invertebrates, making it an excellent choice for mixed reef aquariums.

This species is known for being hardy once acclimated and does best in aquariums with a secure lid, as wrasses are natural jumpers. Peaceful by nature, the Chaoti Wrasse can be kept singly or in carefully planned wrasse communities and makes a fantastic centerpiece fish due to its color and constant activity.
