{"product_id":"magma-fairy-wrasse","title":"Magma Fairy Wrasse","description":"\u003ch2\u003eMagma Fairy Wrasse\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Magma Fairy Wrasse (\u003cem\u003eCirrhilabrus shutmani\u003c\/em\u003e) is one of the rarest, most visually stunning, and most coveted fairy wrasses in the entire saltwater hobby. \u003cstrong\u003eA solid fiery magma-red body glows across the entire fish with dusky red markings across the dorsal and anal fins, bright red pelvic fins, and a striking two-tone caudal fin with bright yellow at the base fading to intense red at the trailing edge\u003c\/strong\u003e — a color signature so bold and unified in its red saturation that no other fairy wrasse in the trade quite matches it. First described scientifically in 2017 and discovered around the Didicas Volcano in the Babuyan Islands of Northern Philippines, the Magma Fairy Wrasse takes its common name from both its volcanic origin and its unmistakable fiery coloration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the Magma Fairy Wrasse such a prized collector piece is the combination of extraordinary color saturation, genuine rarity of origin, and dynamic swimming behavior. \u003cstrong\u003eMagma Fairy Wrasses are wild-collected exclusively from a small volcanic reef range in Northern Philippines at depths of 165 to 230 feet\u003c\/strong\u003e, making them one of the most genuinely scarce fairy wrasses available anywhere in the trade — the kind of specimen that anchors a serious wrasse collection or serves as a genuine centerpiece for a specialist reef display. Males display the full fiery magma-red saturation, while females (which are actually larger than males in this species) show more subdued pink and orange coloration. Adult specimens reach approximately 3 inches, delivering serious visual impact in a compact, active swimming package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Magma Fairy Wrasse is active, peaceful with most tankmates, and completely reef-safe with corals — spending its days actively swimming across the open water column above the rockwork. \u003cstrong\u003eLike all fairy wrasses, the Magma is a notorious jumper and requires a tight-fitting lid or mesh screen — this is mandatory husbandry, not optional\u003c\/strong\u003e. Magmas do best in established reef aquariums (55 gallon minimum) with abundant live rock providing both shelter and open swimming space. A single male can be kept alone or with a small group of females introduced simultaneously; multiple males should not be housed together. Hardy, adaptable, and one of the most rewarding premium reef fish available, the Magma Fairy Wrasse delivers unmatched visual impact for serious reef keepers building a specialist wrasse collection or seeking a genuine showpiece for a mature reef display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#173f4b; margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eAvailable Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#f7f8f8; border-top:1px solid #dce3e5; padding:12px 14px; font-size:13px; color:#68777c; line-height:1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex; gap:18px; padding:14px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:155px; flex:0 0 155px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"display:inline-block; font-weight:700; color:#173f4b; background:#eef5f5; padding:4px 8px; border-radius:4px;\"\u003e1 Magma Fairy Wrasse\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"color:#536369; line-height:1.55;\"\u003eOne healthy Magma Fairy Wrasse ( Cirrhilabrus shutmani ) — hand-selected from current availability.

Only one male Magma Fairy Wrasse should be kept per tank; males will fight each other aggressively. A single male can be housed with a small group of females if all specimens are introduced simultaneously — this replicates the natural harem structure of the species. Magma Fairy Wrasses are peaceful with most tankmates and completely reef-safe with corals, but can be opportunistic with very small ornamental invertebrates including sexy shrimp and other tiny shrimp species. Larger established cleaner shrimp, snails, hermit crabs, and other invertebrates are generally safe. Feed a varied carnivore diet 1 to 2 times daily; Magmas are enthusiastic feeders and rarely refuse food once acclimated. Newly introduced specimens can be shy for the first few days but typically open up within a week and become active display fish. Adult size approximately 3 inches.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#173f4b; margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e🔍 Aquarium Insights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Magma Fairy Wrasse is one of the rarest and most visually stunning fairy wrasses available to reef keepers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin-top:0; padding-left:20px; color:#495b62; line-height:1.75;\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid fiery magma-red coloration with bright yellow caudal base and red distal half — unlike any other fairy wrasse in the trade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWild-collected from volcanic reef slopes of Northern Philippines at depths of 165 to 230 feet — genuinely rare in origin and supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA premium collector-grade fairy wrasse that anchors any specialist wrasse collection — the kind of showpiece serious wrasse collectors build a mature reef display around\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color:#173f4b; margin-bottom:7px;\"\u003eLearn More\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003eFor detailed species information, compatibility, and care tips, visit our \u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.macroalgaefarms.com\/pages\/species-library\" style=\"color: #1d5c78;\"\u003eSpecies Library\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f6f8f9; border: 1px solid #dde4e7; border-left: 4px solid #8a98a0; border-radius: 10px; padding: 13px 15px; font-size: 13px; color: #607078; line-height: 1.65;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: #46545b;\"\u003eLivestock Disclaimer\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 8px 0 10px;\"\u003eDue to natural variation, the Magma Fairy Wrasse you receive will be hand-selected from current availability.
