Why it is a Collector's Vault fish: Earle's Fairy Wrasse was only described in 2001 and lives on deep twilight reefs, about 200 to 300 feet down, in Palau and the Marshall Islands. Collecting from that depth takes specialized deep diving and slow decompression, so very few reach the trade. Males develop a sword-shaped tail and put on a spectacular flashing display for females, which is why we offer them as a male and female pair.

Sold as a pair: one male and one female. Choose the size you want for each.
