Thalassoma Pavo, or peacock wrasse, is a brightly colored marine fish from the wrasse family. It lives in warm coastal waters and changes coloration and sex during its life.
Peacock wrasse cleans reefs from small invertebrates and serves as food for larger fish. Its ability to change sex helps the species survive in changing conditions.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
