Six Line Wrasse

Pseudocheilinus hexataenia

The Six Line Wrasse is a small but intensely colored gem — six vivid horizontal orange-pink stripes on a deep purple body. Beyond its looks, it constantly patrols rockwork hunting flatworms, pyramidellid snails, and small parasites, making it a functional addition to any reef. It can become territorial as it matures, so add it last to a community tank.
