The Eightline Flasher Wrasse has been a great addition to my 50-gallon reef tank. It’s peaceful and active, helping to clean the sand bed without disturbing corals. It’s grown to about 3 inches and looks healthy after a few months.
Sean Parr –
I’ve had this wrasse for six months now. It’s calm and doesn’t eat any of my polyps. It’s a good fit for my intermediate reef setup and has adapted well to the environment.

The fish arrived healthy and was quickly acclimated. It’s active during the day and stays near the sand bed. I appreciate the clear size range provided in the description.
