Coris aygula Lacepede 1801, the Twinspot or Clown Coris (2), is
oh-so-cute when little; at about 3-5 inches it starts to transform into
a light in the front, dark in the back female. But as they say on late
night TV, "Wait, there's more". At a foot or so in length females change
again to darkish green with a white body band males that grow to three
plus feet in length! Indo-Pacific, including the Red Sea to the Line
Islands in distribution. An eighteen inch male in the upper Red Sea
2019. |
