Variegated Rainbow Wrasse

Coris batuensis

Description:

Although we can’t hear it, these fish give warning sounds when predators are around. On top of that, whenever they are attacked or hear a warning sound they remember the smell that was around at the time and will hide whenever they smell it again. Guardian: Jennifer Hall
