The family Labridae, commonly known as wrasses, includes a diverse group of marine fish found primarily in tropical and subtropical oceans. They are characterized by their elongated bodies, vibrant colors, and thick lips. Wrasses play important roles in coral reef ecosystems, often serving as cleaners by removing parasites from other fish. Labridae species vary in size and behavior, with some being solitary while others are social. Many wrasses exhibit remarkable sexual dimorphism, where males and females display different colors and sizes. They primarily feed on invertebrates and are known for their agility and intelligence in navigating complex reef environments.
