Nice 6-line Iraf. If your digital camera has an action or sports setting, use that to shorten the shutter speed. You'll get less blur from the quick movement of the wrasse. _________ 55gal, 65+ lbs LR, 60Lbs LS, Coralife 125 ss, Fluval 305, HydorKoralia 2 + 3, 2 YT Damsels, 2 Misbarred Clownfish, Blue Tang, Yellow Tang, Leopard Wrasse, Asstd snails and hermit crabs, skunk cleaner shrimp, 3 peppermint shrimp, emerald crab, goniopora stokesi, frogspawn, and some other corals.  | |

Congrats...great fish...every tank needs one...
(Repost  )  Pics
Besides its incredible beauty, it is great fun to watch whizzing around tank, playing in heavy water current and "schooling" around with other fish.
It is a fish with wonderful characteristics.
It will eat flatworms, bristle worms, small nuisance snails (esp. those that prey on clams) and is known to act as a "cleaner" to other fish that might be afflicted with some parasite such as Ick.
I often see it carefully inspecting my larger fish, which will hold still for it to do so.
While it does carry a bad rep for being overly aggressive, mine is the most docile, mellow and fish friendly in the tank. The reason being it was the last fish to be added to the population, other then my flame wrasse, which it does not bother at all. It seems to be that they will not tolerate new fish.
He has lots of personality and fun to watch him following around my coral beauty which his best friend.
The only downside that I have heard of, is that it also loves copepods which will put it in competition with other pod eaters, such as mandarins. But my mandarin is a fat little sausage so does not seem to be a problem in my tank.
So for a cheap, colorful and playful addition to a already established fish population, consider adding a sixline wrasse.
It is the perfect reef fish.
I love mine.
