Description

The 8 Line Wrasse (Pseudocheilinus octotaenia) is a striking wrasse species known for its vibrant coloration, featuring bold horizontal lines across its body in shades of pink, orange, and yellow. This visually stunning fish is native to the Indo-Pacific and adds both beauty and activity to reef and community aquariums.

The 8 Line Wrasse can exhibit semi-aggressive behavior, particularly towards other wrasses or smaller tankmates. It thrives in a tank with plenty of live rock for hiding and exploring, and open areas for swimming. A secure lid is recommended, as it is known to be a jumper.

As a carnivore, the 8 Line Wrasse enjoys a diet rich in meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and other finely chopped seafood. A varied diet helps maintain its vibrant coloration and overall health.

While it is generally reef-safe, caution is advised as the 8 Line Wrasse may nip at smaller invertebrates such as shrimp or crabs. It is best suited for experienced aquarists who can manage its semi-aggressive nature and tankmate compatibility.

Overall, the 8 Line Wrasse is a stunning and active fish that adds dynamic energy to a well-maintained aquarium. Its bold colors and lively personality make it a popular choice among marine hobbyists.
