不可否认，扭曲是最丰富多彩，最多样化的海洋鱼类之一，尽管触手可及的所有书籍，但有时我们必须见面真正欣赏某些物种的正确例子。一个典型的是这个奇妙的男性标本，Hemigymnus fasciatus，我们在水族馆des lagons在新喀里多尼亚的诺米亚，确实引起了我们的注意。

Despite being commonly available and very hardy the thicklip wrasses don’t get nearly enough time in the spotlight since the juveniles of the two widely available species don’t really hold a candle to other wrasse choices, not to mention being boisterous, broad-shouldered fish. While the young fish might be simply black and white when they mature and turn into males the convict-like coloration gives way to beautiful blue spots bedazzling its scales with a colorful yellow and green face that carry blue edged pinkish orange stripes.
用厚实的嘴唇，你知道hemigymnus可能会对被炮弹的无脊椎动物造成严重破坏，甚至可能会在寻找躲藏在下面的美味的泥石周围移动一些岩石。Another roadblock to the popularity of thicklip wrasses in aquariums is that they do get rather large in the wild, attaining up to 18 inches or 45 cm in length and they’ll exhibit a wide range of color phases as they cycle from juvenile to female to male to fully adult appearance.
