With its vivid blue hues complemented by a rich red and orange body, this wrasse is not only a visual delight but also an active and engaging inhabitant.

**Care Requirements:**

To ensure the health and happiness of your Blue Throat Fairy Wrasse, it is crucial to maintain optimal water conditions. Ideal water parameters include a temperature range of 72-78°F, a pH of 8.1-8.4, and a specific gravity of 1.020-1.025. A tank size of at least 50 gallons is recommended to provide ample space for swimming and exploration.

The Blue Throat Fairy Wrasse is an excellent choice for reef tanks, as it is generally peaceful and reef-safe. It coexists harmoniously with corals and other invertebrates, making it a perfect candidate for diverse marine environments. However, it is advisable to keep them with other peaceful tank mates to avoid any potential aggression.

Feeding & Diet

An opportunistic omnivore, the Pithos Crab will scavenge detritus, uneaten food, and algae — making it a natural cleanup crew member. Supplement with small meaty foods like mysis shrimp or pellets 2–3x per week if natural food sources are limited.

Care & Water Parameters

The Pithos Crab thrives in stable, well-maintained reef conditions. Target parameters: temperature 72–78°F, salinity 1.025–1.026 SG, pH 8.1–8.4, and alkalinity 8–12 dKH. A mature, established tank of at least 20 gallons is recommended.

Reef & Tank Compatibility

Generally considered reef-safe. The Pithos Crab coexists well with most corals and peaceful fish. Use caution with very small invertebrates or slow-moving tankmates. Provide ample rockwork and hiding spots to reduce territorial behavior.

Size & Growth

Pithos Crabs are typically shipped at 0.5–1.5 inches. They are slow-growing and generally remain small, making them well-suited for nano and mid-size reef systems.
