More about Greenback fairy wrasse

The Greenback fairy wrasse (Cirrhilabrus scottorum) is a colorful saltwater fish with a predominantly green back and a mix of other vivid colors across its body. Originating from the Western Pacific Ocean, including regions like Fiji and Tonga, this species showcases a slender body typical of wrasses, with males often more brightly colored than females. Despite its attractive appearance, it is not as well-known or commonly kept in the aquarium hobby as some other wrasse species, but it does catch the interest of some marine aquarium enthusiasts for its striking colors and peaceful nature.
