The Six Line Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus hexataenia), also known as the Sixstripe Wrasse, is indigenous to the Indo-Pacific region, favoring coral reefs, rocky crevices, and areas with ample hiding spots. This vibrant fish features a blue body adorned with six orange horizontal stripes, complemented by green tail fins and a "false eye" at the base, which confuses predators. Generally considered reef safe, it actively hunts small invertebrates and pests. With a length of about 3 inches and a lifespan of 4 to 6 years or more, it's suitable for smaller aquariums, requiring a minimum tank size of 55 gallons with stable water parameters, proper filtration, and suitable lighting. When it comes to tank mates, options include Dwarf Angelfish, Dottyback, Gobies, Basslets, and Hawkfish. Acquiring the Six Line Wrasse from Saltwaterfish.com ensures healthy and responsibly sourced specimens, backed by comprehensive information and exceptional customer support, guaranteeing a seamless and rewarding experience for marine enthusiasts
Compatible Tank Mates Include: Dwarf Angelfish, Dottyback (e.g., Orchid Dottyback),, Gobies, Basslets (e.g., Royal Gramma), and Hawkfish (e.g., Flame Hawkfish)
A beautiful , beautiful fish . The picture doesn't do it justice. Fish easily adjusted to new environment and is a pleasure to watch swimming along the rocks.

This fish arrived in very good shape and was active immediately. It readily eats pellets and can often be seen foraging in the rocks and sand beds, despite being harassed by a larger 2-spot Coris wrasse in the same tank
