Bodianus axillaris
The axillary wrasse is a marine fish from the wrasse family. Young individuals are black with white spots, while adults change their coloration and can change sex from female to male.
The axil wrasse cleans reefs from small pests and serves as food for larger fish. Changing color and sex helps the species adapt to reef life.
