Common name: Labropsis wrasses

Labropsis wrasses are a small genus of fish in the family Labridae, known for their vibrant colors and active behavior. These wrasses are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their ability to adapt to aquarium life and their role in controlling pests like flatworms. They are generally peaceful but can be territorial with similar species. Labropsis species are protogynous hermaphrodites, meaning they can change sex from female to male during their lifecycle. This fascinating aspect of their biology can be observed in well-established aquariums.
