Günther's wrasse is a small marine fish with bright coloration. It lives on rocky reefs off the western coast of Australia and changes color from chocolate in juveniles to rainbow in adult males.
Günther's wrasse is distinguished by the chocolate coloration of juveniles and bright colors of adult males. It helps maintain balance on reefs by eating small invertebrates.
