Wrasses are prone to jumping from the aquarium when startled or excited so we recommend a secure lid. They feel most secure when there is plenty of live rock to hide in, as well as open space for swimming. Most species may be kept in pairs or harems as long as they are added together or females first. They do not appreciate living with other species of wrasse, so any aquarium with several species must be large enough and the most peaceful species added first.

They should be fed two to three times a day plenty of high quality meaty items, frozen Mysis shrimp, krill, chopped seafood, marine algae and Spirulina.

Lined wrasses are easy to keep and have active personalities. They are easy to feed and usually learn to take dry foods, as well as have big appetites for invertebrates, especially shrimp; however larger species may attack other crustaceans, snails, and worms. They may also eat several pests of corals and clams including flatworms, bristleworms and pyramid snails. They do not bother corals or anemones.

At night time lined wrasses hide in the rockwork and wrap themselves in a mucus cocoon to hide their scent from predators. This cocoon may be visible in the morning, and will soon dissipate into the water, and a new cocoon created each night.

The Secretive wrasse is a lovely and uncommon little fish. It is overall a super saturated salmon pink color with extremely fine rose pink stripes. Its nose is bright lemon yellow with silvery blue highlights. Males and females are identical. It is known by many names including the Disappearing, Vanishing, and Pinstriped wrasse. It may bully other fish, especially passive species or those with a similar shape; we do not recommend keeping it with small species such as flasher wrasses. It grows up to 3 inches and needs an aquarium of at least 30 gallons.
