Eight Line Wrasse

Pseudocheilinus octotaenia. Eight-line Wrasse, also called the eight line flasher wrasse, is orange with 8 purple and yellow horizontal stripes running across the body. Juveniles have faint yellow blotches as well as a more red color with white stripes on the head. Wrasses are generally hardy and easy to take care of. They prefer a tank with plenty of rock work to hide in and a sandy substrate. They should get along with other tankmates but can be aggressive toward other wrasses. They should accept frozen foods, and maybe eventually flake/pellet food. They may harm corals as they scavenge for food.
