SCIENTIFIC NAME - Larabicus quadrilineatus

COMMON NAME – Red Sea, Four Line Cleaner Wrasse

SIZE – 5 in (13 cm)

MIN. AQUARIUM SIZE - 50 gal (189 gal)

FOODS AND FEEDING - This fish only eats parasites and dead skin off of other fish. Rarely, it can be trained to eat frozen foods. If the fish is being fed frozen food it should be fed a variety of high quality meaty marine frozen foods.

REEF COMPATIBILITY - Yes

CAPTIVE CARE - This is an extremely difficult fish to keep. They only eat parasites and dead skin off of other fish. They tend to starve to death in our aquariums in a matter of days or weeks. Wrasses are known jumpers so the aquarium top should be covered.
