There are over 600 species of Wrasse, a Family of marine fishes. Their mouths are protractile, with separate jaw teeth that jut outwards. Their lips are particularly well-formed, giving them the name
Lippfische in German. Many species are capable of changing sex, with the larger females switching gender to male
if the situation permits it. More rarely, some males become females. This fine specimen is a Mystery Wrasse. He can be found in the pet trade.
