Creole Wrasse are always fun to watch as they work their way along the reef.To begin with they are kind of noticeable with their purple bodies and the bright splash of yellow, green and blue along their sides.
They swim in schools that arrange themselves in a long thin line. So, each time I see them.... I have "conga tunes" playing in my head.
Like many reef fish they are grazers, swimming just above the surface of the coral.... snooping into crevices in search of snails, worms, shrimp, crab and eggs.
From time to time we will see them feeding, as they are here, by extending that "white dealy" (yes that's a scientific term) from their mouths and filtering something right out of the water.
