Moon Wrasse

Also called: Lunar Wrasse

Scientific name: Thalassoma lunare

This is definitely one of the more colorful wrasses. It's very similar to the Green Moon (aka Sunset Moon) Wrasse, which has a prominent blue streak at the edge of the pectoral fin. The Moon Wrasse is found on reefs throughout Southeast Asia.
