Summary
DescriptionLábrido tablero a cuadros (Halichoeres hortulanus), mar Rojo, Egipto, 2023-04-19, DD 43.jpg
English: Adult Checkerboard wrasse (Halichoeres hortulanus), Red Sea, Egypt. The checkerboard wrasse is a small sized fish that can reach a maximum length of 27 centimetres (11 in). Both its sex and appearance change during its life, and the colouring at each stage is rather variable based on location. The checkerboard wrasse is widespread throughout the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indian Ocean, from the Red Sea to South Africa, to the oceanic islands (French Polynesia) from central Pacific Ocean. The northern limit is the south of Japan and the southern limit is the Great Barrier Reef. It is usually found in clear lagoons and on seaward reefs at depths from 1 to 30 m (3.3 to 98.4 ft). The checkerboard wrasse is a predator that feeds mainly on small invertebrates such as crustaceans, molluscs, worms, echinoderms captured on the substrate or in the sand.
