Its slender body features beautiful shades of orange, red and yellow, accented by delicate electric-blue stripes that shimmer as the fish moves through the aquarium.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMature males are particularly impressive, developing elongated dorsal fin filaments and more elaborate fin markings. During courtship, males can intensify their colours dramatically, spreading their fins and performing rapid, graceful swimming displays to attract females. These remarkable performances give flasher wrasses their distinctive common name.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNative to tropical reefs of the western Pacific, this species naturally inhabits reef slopes and areas above established coral formations, where it feeds on tiny planktonic organisms carried through the water column. Its active swimming behaviour creates constant movement, while its naturally peaceful temperament makes it an appealing addition to carefully selected reef communities.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUnlike many sand-burying wrasses, the Carpenter's Flasher Wrasse seeks shelter within rockwork, retreating into narrow crevices when frightened or resting overnight.
