Blue Stripe Pipefish

Doryrhamphus excisus

Reef Safe

The Blue Stripe Pipefish is a fascinating and slender marine fish with a distinctive blue stripe running along its body, contrasting against its pale background. This species adds a unique touch to reef aquariums, gliding gracefully through the water and exhibiting intriguing behavior. Reef safe and peaceful, the Blue Stripe Pipefish coexists well with a variety of tank mates, including small reef fish and invertebrates. However, it requires a well-established tank with plenty of live rock and hiding spots to thrive. Due to its specialized diet of small crustaceans and copepods, providing live foods or enriched frozen alternatives is essential for its health and vitality. With its delicate appearance and captivating movements, the Blue Stripe Pipefish contributes both beauty and intrigue to marine aquariums, making it a prized addition for aquarists seeking to create a dynamic and diverse underwater environment.
