Description

The Six-Line Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus Hexataenia), is a species of Wrasse native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. The Six-Line Wrasse inhabits coral reefs, and can reach 3.9″ inches in total length.

The Six-Line Wrasse is a semi-aggressive fish. It will compete with and harass delicate fish or smaller individuals. Since it has a big appetite for small benthic creatures and crustaceans, it can easily deplete the aquarium biodiversity in its environment. However, it can also be a cleaner fish. Six-Line Wrasse will also peck algae, parasites and fish eggs off of rocks, coral and seaweed in its quest for small crustaceans.
