Humphead wrasse

Humphead wrasse (Cheilinu undulatus) is the most famous of the labre family. It can reach 2 metres in length. Its color is a dark geen. It has large scales and a large hump. It is hunted for its excellent flesh and this is unfortunate because this magnifiscent fish is not abundant particularly the large specimens. French name: "Napoleon".
