Small wrasse with six horizontal lines. Beneficial pest controller eating flatworms. Active swimmer adding movement to the tank.
The sixline wrasse (Pseudocheilinus hexataenia) is a small wrasse of the family Labridae widely distributed across coral reefs of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. Six vivid horizontal stripes along the body, a background of warm red-orange, and a distinctive purple spot behind the eye combine to create a striking display. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, it is a valued biological control agent: it actively hunts flatworms, nudibranch eggs, copepods, and other micro-pests that can proliferate in reef aquariums. Despite its modest size of 5–7 cm, it is notably territorial and may harass smaller fish and crustaceans. A 60-litre or larger aquarium with sufficient rockwork for retreat is recommended.
