About Blue Flasher Wrasse
Small, slender wrasse with males displaying vibrant blue coloration on the face, head, and anterior body, contrasting with yellow-orange to red posterior sections. Females are more subdued, typically orange-red overall with blue markings less prominent. Both sexes exhibit the characteristic "flasher" behavior of rapidly displaying their bright colors, particularly during courtship.

They require a well-established reef with adequate food sources and stable water conditions. They are generally peaceful but may be outcompeted for food by more aggressive feeders.
