Anybody know anything about a four stripe wrasse,I purchased one at petco last week it is orange with blue stripes and green tail?
 
I never heard of a four line, make sure its the right name, then I can help.

Four Lined Wrasse
Labroides dimidiatus

From: Pacific
Size: 5 1/2 inches
Food: Carnivore
The Four Lined Wrasse has a deep blue body with two long light-blue lateral lines on each side. The fins are transparent with blue highlight. It is an effective "cleaner" fish, which scours and removes parasites and debris from other fish. It does not appreciate substandard water conditions.
 
Pseudocheilinus tetrataenia

Fairly easy going as far as wrasses are concerned. It should do fine in a 30 gal tank. Feed fortified mysis and it should adapt to eating flake as well. Might not be a bad idea to use phytoplankton once a week or so to help the pod population.

Cheers
Steve
