Description
The Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse is a vibrant, tropical saltwater fish known for its distinctive coloration and beneficial role in marine ecosystems. It has a long, slender body with a striking blue stripe running from its nose to the base of its tail, contrasted by a black stripe below it. This fish is renowned for its symbiotic relationship with other fish, as it feeds on parasites and dead skin, providing a 'cleaning' service, hence the name.
Reef Safe
Yes, the Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse is considered reef safe and can be a beneficial addition to a reef aquarium due to its cleaning habits.
Environment
The Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse needs a well-established aquarium with plenty of hiding places and swimming space. It prefers a tank with live rock where small organisms thrive, which it can pick at. It also requires good water conditions with a stable temperature.
Behavior
This species is known for its cleaning behavior. It sets up a 'cleaning station' in the reef where it performs its cleaning services on 'client' fish. It is generally peaceful but may quarrel with other cleaner wrasse if they invade its territory.

One of the first fish I owned and I still have. Extremely social with both other fish and myself (it likes follows me around the tank when working on it). I would say to make sure it has other larger fish that it can interact with as it’s a cleaner wrasse and it likes to go and offer its services to the other fish, smaller fish tend to get scared when approached by the wrasse from my experience. Aside from that they are also jumpers so make sure to have a good lid, mines jumped out when I take the lid off for feeding a few times so be careful.

I have had 2 of these. The first one I had bought from a somewhat shady LFS that had told my girlfriend and I, the fish had been sucked in through the intake and spat into another tank. After bringing him home he was clearly Injured. After a long painstaking process I got the fish replaced and it has been one of my favorite to watch. He sleeps most nights inside of a small hole in the rock and comes out to feed first thing in the morning. Hard to see sometimes as wrasse have an early bed time.
