Friendly Napoleon Wrasse in Beqa Lagoon, Fiji (00017654)
(7)
Description: The friendly Napoleon Wrasse, also known as Humphead Wrasse or Cheilinus undulatus, is a majestic coral fish found in the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. Divers adore watching this over two-meter-long fish glide along the reef edge. Unfortunately, the population of this species is declining rapidly due to its status as a delicacy. These fascinating marine creatures are at risk due to unregulated fishing and the use of cyanide.
