Description: The Humphead Wrasse, also known as Napoleon Wrasse or Cheilinus undulatus, is a majestic inhabitant of the seas. Growing over two meters long, it is a captivating sight in the waters of the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean. Divers appreciate its friendly nature along the reef edges, where it enjoys exploring curiously. However, the night brings dangers as it retreats to its sleep cave, becoming an easy target for ruthless fishermen. Unfortunately, the population of this majestic fish species is threatened by overfishing and the use of harmful cyanide. A sight that is becoming increasingly rare.
