麦氏副唇鱼
The McCosker's Flasher Wrasse is a small but eye-catching wrasse, its orange body streaked with neon blue lines. Its name comes from the "flashing" display males perform during courtship, spreading their fins wide to show off vivid color — a memorable sight when you happen to catch it in the tank. Generally peaceful and reef-safe, it pairs well with corals and other small, non-aggressive fish. At just 6-8cm as an adult, it stays compact enough to suit tanks without demanding excessive space. That said, it tends to settle in best when kept alone or with careful tankmate selection, so compatibility is worth thinking through. Considered suitable for intermediate keepers, it fits those who already have some experience managing stable water quality and reef conditions.

关于麦氏副唇鱼
A striking small wrasse in orange with neon-blue lines. Reef-safe, 4-6 year lifespan, grows to 6-8cm. Best suited to intermediate keepers.
迎接麦氏副唇鱼前需要了解的7件事
1Watch for the flashing display
Males perform a display called "flashing," spreading their fins wide to show off vivid color during courtship — the behavior the species is named for, and one of the joys of keeping it. When and how often you see it varies by individual and setup.
2Reef-safe and sociable
This species is reef-safe, rarely bothering corals or invertebrates, which makes it a good fit for reef tanks. It also gets along well with other small, peaceful fish.
3A compact adult size
Adults reach only about 6-8cm, staying compact throughout life. This modest size makes them easier to accommodate without needing excessive tank space.
4Often calmer kept singly
They can show territorial behavior toward conspecifics or similarly colored fish, and tend to settle in more calmly when kept alone. If housing with tankmates, think carefully about the combination.
5Guard against jumping
Like many wrasses, this species may jump out of the tank when startled. A secure lid or gap coverage helps keep them safe.
6They may bury in the sand
They sometimes bury themselves in the substrate at night or when feeling threatened. Providing a reasonably deep sand bed can help them feel more secure.
7Suited to intermediate keepers
This species is rated as suitable for intermediate keepers, so some experience with water quality management and tank maintenance is recommended. Expected lifespan is around 4-6 years.
