🐠 Six Line Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus hexataenia)
Marine Reef-Safe-With-Caution Pest Control Wrasse • Electric Blue & Orange Striped Body • Genuinely Feisty Personality • Beginner-Friendly Marine Fish
 
📋 The Six Line Wrasse has a genuinely vibrant orange-to-pink body crossed by six electric-blue horizontal lines, a neon blue eye ring, and a "false eye" spot at the base of the tail that genuinely helps confuse predators.
Native to a genuinely wide range across the Indo-Pacific, this species spends its day actively weaving through rockwork, hunting pyramidellid snails, flatworms, bristleworms, and other small invertebrates — a genuinely valuable pest-control ally in many reef tanks.
We want to be genuinely honest about its temperament: while it won't harm corals, it's a real threat to small ornamental shrimp, crabs, and other tiny invertebrates you may want to keep, and it can genuinely be territorial or outright aggressive toward peaceful, similarly shaped, or newly introduced fish, especially in smaller tanks. It's best added as one of the last fish to your tank, and only one Six Line Wrasse should be kept per tank unless housing a genuine mated pair. It's also a genuinely notorious jumper, so a tight-fitting lid is essential.
