Six Line Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus Hexataenia)

$32.01

The Six-Line Wrasse is a vibrant marine species showcasing a purple body accented with six distinct orange horizontal stripes and a prominent false eyespot near the tail. Known for its energetic behavior, it constantly darts in and out of live rock structures to create active visual movement in your aquarium.

This reef-safe fish serves as excellent natural pest control by actively consuming unwanted flatworms and bristleworms. Due to its semi-aggressive and territorial nature toward passive tankmates, introducing this species last to an established aquarium is recommended.
