Added the Scarlet Pinstripe Wrasse to my 40-gallon reef tank. It’s active and colorful, and has not shown aggression toward other fish. Good for intermediate reef keepers who want a vibrant, dynamic species.
Angela McGrath –
The wrasse is lively and adds visual interest. I noticed it occasionally nipping at smaller invertebrates, so I’ve increased the tank’s hiding spots. Overall, a solid addition to a balanced reef.

This wrasse has been in my tank for three months. It’s healthy, active, and doesn’t seem to stress other fish. The color is bright and stands out well in the reef setup.
