Humphead or Napoleon wrasse - Chelinus undulatus

We are lucky to see many Chelinus undulatus although many are sub-adult. This is the "Humphead Wrasse" which has been reported to reach over 7 feet long and will ultimately turn shades of blue-green. The large ones tend to live ocean side where they keep their distance and disappear into the depths. This one may have been just under 3 feet.
