Bodianus sepiacaudus is a marine fish from the wrasse family. It lives on the coral reefs of the Hawaiian Islands and is distinguished by a dark tail in adult males.
Bodianus sepiacaudus is distinguished by a black tail in males and bright coloration. It is important for the reef because it eats harmful invertebrates and helps maintain the balance of marine life.
Immature form that undergoes metamorphosis before adulthood.
