The Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse is one of the most beneficial and recognizable residents of the coral reef. Known for its distinct horizontal black stripe running across a gradient of white to electric blue, this wrasse provides a vital service in the marine environment: cleaning. In the "Answering Machine" era of reef husbandry, this species is the ultimate biological solution for maintaining the health of larger tank mates by removing dead skin and ectoparasites.
Because they are highly active and social, they establish "cleaning stations" where other fish will actually line up for a session. While they are peaceful and compatible with almost all non-predatory fish, they require a well-stocked aquarium to ensure they have enough natural food sources to supplement their diet.

Quick Specs
Care Level: Moderate to Difficult (Requires established tank)
Temperament: Peaceful
Minimum Tank Size: 30 Gallons
Diet: Carnivore (Obligate feeder/Cleaner)
Reef Compatible: Yes
Max Size: 4 Inches
Water Conditions: 72 to 78°F, dKH 8 to 12, pH 8.1 to 8.4, sg 1.020 to 1.025
Husbandry Notes The Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse is best suited for established reef systems with a high population of fish to support its specialized cleaning behavior. While they will accept prepared foods like small mysis and vitamin-enriched brine shrimp over time, their primary diet is derived from cleaning other fish. They are remarkably bold and will often interact with the aquarist during maintenance. Ensure the aquarium has a tight-fitting lid, as these are frequent jumpers, and provide plenty of open swimming space alongside rockwork.
