Marjorie Fairy Wrasse (Cirrhilaburs Marjorie) is a species of wrasse native to the coral reefs of the Fiji.

In the male, the body is red above the lateral line and bluish-white below, with yellow on the caudal peduncle and the front of the tail. Females are orange-red overall with a black spot on the top of the caudal peduncle.

They reach a maximum size of 3 inches and should be kept in a tank of at least 30 gallons. It is important to imitate the natural environment by providing plenty of nooks and crannies for the wrasse to hide in. These wrasse like to jump, so a tight fitting canopy is recommended. They do not burrow into the sand at night like many other wrasses. Instead, they can form a slimy cocoon, the remains of which do not harm the quality of the water or other inhabitants of the aquarium.

Can be maintained in reef or fish-only aquariums that should have ample crevices and caves, and peaceful tankmates. One male can be housed with several females if introduced simultaneously. They will not bother any corals or invertebrates making them a perfect fish for the reef aquarium.

The Cirrhilabrus Marjorie diet should include vitamin enriched frozen mysis shrimp, vitamin enriched frozen brine shrimp, and other meaty foods along with a high quality marine flake and marine pellet food. Feeding them multiple times a day is recommended since they are very active.
