    My wrasse has had this discoloration between his eyes for anout a month now. Doesn't seem to be bothering him or making him any different, just wondering if any might have an idea what it is. Sorry for all the bad pictures, that sucker never stops moving!

    my six line had something like this, except they were light pink patches that came all of a sudden and slowly and went away a while back... it never seemd to bother him... I wondered if it could have been a serpent star I have in the tank... I've since moved the star to the sump.

    I'm not sure what it is or what caused it. But as long as he is actively swimming and eating regularly I'd say he's in good shape and will fight off or repair whatever this is.
    Pretty six line btw :p

    I experienced the pink blotches on my Six Line Wrasse too, never bothered him either though.
