Six Line Wrasse

Bring nonstop motion and crucial biological pest protection to your marine aquarium. The Six Line Wrasse is a vibrant powerhouse featuring a striking bluish-purple body adorned with six neon-orange horizontal stripes, a bright green tail, and a protective "false eye" at the base of its fin to confuse predators. This small, hyper-active fish spends every second of the day darting effortlessly in and out of live rock crevices, keeping your system clear of common pests. 

Exceptionally hardy and reef-safe, the Six Line Wrasse is universally loved for its ability to target and eliminate aquarium pests that can destroy corals. 

A relentless micro-predator. They are highly sought after for hunting down and eating invasive pests such as bristle worms, flatworms, pyramidellid snails (which infest Tridacna clams), and coral-eating nudibranchs. 

This wrasse naturally explores tight spaces. They do not bury themselves in sand like other wrasses; instead, they sleep inside rock cracks and spin a protective mucus cocoon. Provide plenty of live rock to make them feel safe. 

Like all members of the Labridae family, the Six Line Wrasse is an expert jumper when startled or chasing food. A tight-fitting glass lid or mesh screen with absolutely zero open gaps is strictly required. 

Possesses a high metabolism and remains active throughout the photoperiod. While they forage for live organisms on rocks, supplement them daily with high-protein frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and marine pellets. 

While peaceful toward unrelated fish, they can be fierce bullies toward other wrasses, fairy wrasses, or similarly shaped bottom-dwellers like dottybacks or grammas. To minimize territorial issues, always introduce this fish as the absolute final addition to your tank.
