Genus
Common name: Plectorhinchus
Scientific name: Diagramma
The genus Plectorhinchus, commonly known as sweetlips due to their distinctive fleshy lips, comprises a group of fish that are popular in the reef aquarium trade. These fish are known for their striking patterns and colors, as well as their unique behavior, often 'grunting' when distressed.
