Pinked Streaked Wrasse

[Parsells Reef]

Hello everyone, I have a quick question. I’ve been told by AI and a few other people I know that a pink streaked Wrasse is an amazing fish that will eat pests from ZOA’s as well as being a great addition to a nano tank, which I currently have…..
(that’ll change soon. Don’t tell the wife)

Anyway, my question is has anyone on this forum please I need feedback had this fish had luck with this fish or has everyone that purchased this Fish has it died?

I watched a few videos and I’m told by a few credible reef stores that this Fisch is the most stressed out anxiety written dead in 30 minutes after you buy it Fisch which also by the way cost about $150 and I just don’t want to go through that or do I want to lose the money but more importantly, I don’t want to buy a fish that’s gonna die


Your information would be greatly appreciated, please thank you

Haven't owned this personally (it's been on my short list though), but I've never heard that it was particularly death prone.

most little wrasses are a pain in the wrasse.

i own a pink streaked wrasse. absolutely no issues. he was incredibly shy when added and disappeared for a week.

now he’s incredibly active. loves pellets and occasional mysis shrimp. zero damage to any coral. easily my favorite fish in the tank.

I have one in a 3’ tank. It been w me for over 3 years.

The Pink streak are super skittish fish however I seen mine stand up to a royal gramma which for me was surprising to watch.

I have one and it’s been wonderful. Mine mostly just hunts pods all day so make sure you have a good population. I bought mine from @Affordable Aquaria by @Dr. Reef and I highly recommend them. He sent an extra at no cost because they don’t ship well (and so thankful because one didn’t make the trip). Other than that it’s been a joy!
