💙🐟 Blue Streak Cleaner Wrasse Labroides dimidiatus
Natural Fish Cleaner • Peaceful Swimmer• Expert Care Required
 
📋The Blue Streak Cleaner Wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus) is famous in both the ocean and the hobby for its role as a natural parasite remover. Instantly recognizable with its electric blue stripe and sleek black-and-white body, this peaceful wrasse forms “cleaning stations” where larger fish line up to be groomed.
Although stunning and fascinating, the Cleaner Wrasse is best suited for experienced aquarists. It is a specialist feeder, often refusing prepared foods in captivity and relying on a steady supply of parasites and mucus from other fish. However, some individuals can be trained to accept enriched frozen foods over time.
This species thrives in large, mature reef tanks with plenty of fish hosts and open swimming space. Cleaner Wrasses are reef safe, highly active, and bring functional beauty to the aquarium environment.
