Sixline Wrasse

The Sixline Wrasse is a small but mighty addition to any reef aquarium. Its jewel-toned body — electric blue-green with six vivid horizontal orange stripes — flashes like a gemstone as it darts energetically through the rockwork. Beyond its striking looks, the Sixline is a highly effective pest controller, eagerly hunting flatworms, small bristle worms, and other unwanted hitchhikers that can plague reef tanks.

Care Notes:

• Tank size: 30+ gallons with plenty of live rock and hiding spots
• Reef-safe: yes — safe with corals and most invertebrates
• An excellent natural pest controller — actively hunts flatworms, pyramidellid snails, and small bristleworms
• Can be bold and mildly aggressive toward small, passive fish introduced after it; add last when possible
• Diet: carnivore — feeds on small invertebrates and readily accepts frozen mysis, copepods, and quality pellets
• Strong jumper — a secure lid is essential
