Awesome fish spotlight – the Feminine Wrasse
JEREMY GAY

6 SECONDS AGO

March must be Anampses month as we’ve seen lots of members of the genus turn up in fish stores lately including today’s featured fish, the Feminine Wrasse. Fems are wrasse royalty and are so-called because the female’s bicolored orange and blue patternation is even more desirable than that of the male.

Female Feminine Wrasses are super desirable.

They hail from Eastern Australia, New Caledonia, and Easter Island where small, all-female groups swim over rocky reefs down to 20m deep. Males are far less abundant, solitary, and territorial. Females grow to about 5” in length and if they change to male, they can grow larger still.
