Dive into the Fascinating World of the Napoleon Wrasse in the Red Sea (00092850)

Magnificent Napoleon Wrasse in the Red Sea - Exotic Underwater World

Description: The Napoleon Wrasse, also known as the Humphead Wrasse or Cheilinus undulatus, is a majestic marine creature that inhabits the reef edges of the Red Sea. This fascinating species can grow to over two meters in length and is a delightful sight for divers. During the day, it swims joyfully around, while retreating to its sleeping cave at night. Unfortunately, due to uncontrolled fishing and high commercial value, the population of the Napoleon Wrasse is highly threatened. The use of cyanide in catching these fish has devastating effects on the entire reef ecology. Urgent measures are needed to protect this majestic creature.
