Description: The Humphead Wrasse, also known as the Napoleon Wrasse or Cheilinus undulatus, is a majestic inhabitant of the Red Sea. Growing over two meters in length, it resides along the reef edges and captivates divers with its presence. Unfortunately, this species is highly endangered due to its popularity as a food fish. Illegal fishing practices and the use of harmful cyanide threaten not only the Humphead Wrasse population but also the entire reef ecosystem. Urgent actions are required to protect this magnificent creature.
