Humphead wrasse  (Cheilinus undulatus)

Description

The humphead or Napoleon wrasse is one of the largest reef fishes in the world and is the largest member of the wrasse family (Labridae) (4). The enormous size of adult fish is made even more imposing by the prominent hump that develops on their forehead, from which they earn their common name (2). Mature adults also have thick lips; juveniles can be identified by their pale greenish colour and two black lines running behind the eye (2).
