Halichoeres annularis (Valenciennes, 1839)
Pacific dusky wrasse, 18cm

We see these occasionally on shallow lagoon reefs.

The juveniles below were shot by Christina Sylvester in just a few inches of water in one of the Kwajalein reef quarries. It is not an easy place to photograph rapidly moving fish!
