Six Line Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus hexataenia)
The Six Line Wrasse is a small yet striking reef fish, instantly recognizable by its vibrant purple body marked with six bold orange stripes and a greenish tail. Highly active and curious, this wrasse spends its time darting in and out of rockwork, foraging for tiny pests such as bristleworms and flatworms. Its compact size and energetic nature make it a popular choice for reef aquariums.

Country of Origin: Indo-Pacific
Latin Name: Pseudocheilinus hexataenia
Care Level: Easy to Moderate – requires a mature aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding places and foraging opportunities
Six Line Wrasses are carnivores that feed on small invertebrates and parasites. They are generally considered reef safe, as they ignore corals and clams, though they may harass smaller, more timid fish or ornamental invertebrates. Hardy and adaptable, the Six Line Wrasse is a lively and beneficial addition to many reef systems.
