The Lineatus Wrasse is one of the most stunning and sought-after fairy wrasses in the aquarium hobby, prized for its vivid coloration and graceful movement. Native to the Coral Sea, this species showcases brilliant shades of pink, orange, and blue, with delicate horizontal striping that gives it its name. Males, in particular, display dazzling iridescent hues that intensify during courtship or when showing dominance, making them a true centerpiece fish for any reef aquarium.
Peaceful, active, and reef-safe, the Lineatus Wrasse thrives in well-established aquariums with plenty of live rock for hiding and open space for swimming. It’s a hardy and adaptable species that does well with other peaceful tankmates. With its incredible color and lively personality, the Lineatus Wrasse brings elegance and energy to any marine setup.
