Short description
Bluestreak Cleaner Wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus) is a bright blue color with a distinctive black longitudinal stripe that widens toward the tail. It inhabits coral reefs, where it creates "cleaning stations". Other fish visit these sites to have the wrasse remove ectoparasites, dead skin, and excess mucus from their skin, gills, and even mouths. Desjardin's sailfin tang is gray in color with vertical dark stripes, decorated with yellow or orange lines and dots. It has a tall, disc-shaped body and huge, sail-shaped dorsal and anal fins.
