Six Line Wrasse

What is the Swell Six-Line Wrasse?

The Six-line Wrasse has a beautiful blue body with six bright red/orange lines along its side which is where it gets its name from. It is not completely reef safe and can be a fairly aggressive fish especially with invertebrates and with smaller and similar species but it will not bother your corals. They will become most aggressive when resources are in short supply and then they will nip the fins of your other fish so you need to make sure that they have enough space so they can have their own territory and make sure that they have an adequate amount of food so they don't start fighting over food. They will spend most of their time at the bottom and mid section of the aquarium and they love hiding within rocks and in crevices so you need to provide plenty of rocks and hiding places within the tank
