Scarlet Pin Stripe Wrasse - Indonesia
Pseudocheilinus evanidus
The Pinstripe Wrasse is a small, active, and highly desirable reef fish prized for its intricate markings, curious personality, and natural pest-hunting abilities. Adults display a reddish-orange to pink body covered with fine horizontal stripes and accented by subtle blue highlights that create a striking appearance under reef aquarium lighting. Constantly weaving through rockwork, this species spends much of its day searching for tiny crustaceans, worms, and other small invertebrates hidden within crevices. An aquarium with abundant live rock, caves, and hiding places is essential, as the Pinstripe Wrasse relies on complex reef structures for security and foraging opportunities. This species typically reaches about 3 inches (7.5 cm) in length and is best maintained in aquariums of 30 gallons or larger. Pinstripe Wrasses are generally peaceful toward dissimilar tankmates but may become territorial toward other small wrasses or similarly shaped fish, particularly in smaller aquariums. A secure, tight-fitting lid is strongly recommended, as this species is an excellent jumper and can quickly escape from uncovered tanks. In the wild, Pseudocheilinus evanidus inhabits coral reefs and lagoon environments throughout the Indo-Pacific region, including Indonesia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and surrounding island groups. They are commonly found darting among branching corals and rocky reef structures where they hunt for small benthic invertebrates. Carnivorous by nature, this species thrives on a varied diet consisting of mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, copepods, finely chopped seafood, and other high-quality frozen or prepared marine foods. Regular feedings help maintain vibrant coloration, healthy growth, and natural activity levels. Generally considered reef-safe, the Pinstripe Wrasse typically ignores corals and most ornamental invertebrates while helping to control small nuisance pests within the aquarium. Its attractive coloration, engaging behavior, and utility as a natural forager make it an excellent addition to peaceful reef aquariums.
