🌊 Humphead Wrasse – Guardian of the Reef 🐟 | All About Animals The humphead wrasse is a stunning reef giant with blue-green scales, big lips, and a signature forehead hump. Living in the Indo-Pacific, it helps protect coral reefs by eating crown-of-thorns starfish. These fish can grow over 6 feet, live up to 30 years, and even change sex as they age. Sadly, they’re endangered due to overfishing and habitat loss—making their protection crucial for healthy oceans. #humpheadwrasse #wrasse #fish #
