Ctenochaetus cyanocheilus Randall & Clements, 2001
Bluelip bristletooth. 16cm

This is a common species at Kwajalein. The blue lips seem to be characteristic in adults and older juveniles.

A young specimen.

Some of the younger ones are mostly yellow. Although these lack the lines on the body, we are putting them here because of the blue lips.

These seem to be even smaller juveniles, although they lack the blue lips.
