Endangered Humphead Wrasse
I think the Humphead Wrasse is one of the funniest fish I have ever seen. It is so weird! It has a hump like bulge on the top of their head. They can live to be 30 years old. That’s really old for a fish. They live in coral reefs. Did you know that they can grow to be up to 6 feet long?! They eat hard shelled prey such as mollusks, star fish or other stuff like crustaceans. Humphead Wrasse are very important to coral reef health because they eat crown-of-thorn starfish which are not good for coral reef health. Humphead wrasse are mainly endangered because of over fishing. If fisherman stop fishing in the wrong spots maybe someday Humphead wrasse will be very popular all over the world.
