Guinea fowl wrasse

Guinea fowl wrasse

The Guinea fowl wrasse occurs in the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea and off East Africa.

They can be seen on depth between 4 and 60m.

The females are often seen in large groups, congregating on coral reefs.

They constantly move and only stop to quickly pick off some invertebrates, which make up a large part of their diet.

The males are darker than the female in colouring and are rarely seen as they keep to themselves.

Mature males can reach a length of up to 22cm.
