Perhaps you can help me here. I am set on a Cook Islands Scott's Fairy Wrasse for my 120 reef. I do not wish him to lose his color- would getting a female Fiji keep him interested? I realize there is no guarantee- but you have both of these available. OR would getting a large Cook Male and a sub adult Cook male be a wiser choice? What do your experts say?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Thank you for your post about our beautiful Scott’s Fairy Wrasses. Males may behave aggressively towards members of their own species and sex. Therefore, it may be advisable to house one only male fairy wrasse of a given species to be kept in the same tank.
Although in some species color loss can be attributed to improper diet, in male Fairy Wrasses chromatic changes appears to be the result of a lack of interactions with conspecifics. It is possible if these fish are not kept in small groups (with one male and several females), the males color, and possibly his gender, will begin to revert back to that of the female.
Please let us know if you have any further questions.

I ordered a Fiji female and sub adult Cook Island male- let's see what happens.
