do the 6 line wrasse clean fish? what is a good wrasse to get for the reef aquarium that has coulour and it hardy... and it woudl be abonus if hes a cleaner but i heard they arent that hardy...

Six-lines do not clean fish but IMO are a hardy fish......
A Canary Wrasse ( H. chrysus ) MIGHT clean some fish and are also hardy, IMO.

dogstar has it right 6 line can also be a little territorial once established to other wrasse and similar shaped fish but they are definetely hardy and a very active colorful fish for a reef tank

Fourline wrasses are from Hawaii and practically the same fish, please support non destructive capture 4 line

There is a (Labroides dimidiatus) Blue Streak Wrasse, which is a cleaner wrasse. They will clean other fish.

anamilasti asked for a hardy fish..read the post...most dont live in captivity...I had kept my Cleaner Wrasse for 5 years and thats very, very rare with this species and I dont recomend them.
