There once was a Redfin Fairy Wrasse,
With colors that made others seem passe.
Its fins were bright red,
And its scales shimmered instead,
Making it the coolest fish of the day.

They are also known for their unique swimming style, which involves a lot of darting and weaving. In captivity, they require a well-established aquarium with plenty of live rock and hiding places.
