Five Stripe/Lightning Wrasse (5")

Thalassoma quinquevittatum

The Five Stripe Wrasse, or Pinkface Wrasse, will add bright color and movement to your aquarium. It requires a 50 gallon or larger aquarium with moderately aggressive tank mates, and plenty of rocks for hiding. The Five Stripe Wrasse will become territorial and often harass any new additions to the aquarium, therefore, it should be one of the last fish added to the tank. This species has been known to eat mantis shrimp and bristleworms as well as other crustaceans, but will normally not eat corals or live plants.
