The dorsal fin of orange is accentuated by yellow, red blue, and one elongated Ray. A stunning, red band along the orange fin produces a stunning and vibrant color scheme. Female coloring and overall appearance are muted. Females also don't have massive dorsal or anal fins. The McCosker's Flasher Wrasse requires a 55-gallon aquarium (or bigger) with a lid that is tight as it is a jumper. It is often found on areas of reefs that slope down as well as rubble zone, the McCosker's Wrasse can be found swimming at the bottom and tends to create small-sized groups in which males swim around between females in groups. The color of a male adult intensifies when he is courting and he can flash the fins in order to attract females. We suggest just one male for each aquarium display.
