About Six Line Wrasse
Six Line Wrasse is a type of seawater fish that has orange-red eyes. The uniqueness of this ornamental seawater fish is that it sleeps by slipping into the gap and produces a cocoon from mucus. The cocoon produced helped hide the smell of six-line wrasse fish from predators. Another unique feature is that they can change their gender from female to male.
