Comb wrasse

Coris picta

Description:

The comb wrasse has a long white body with a prominent wide black stripe from its mouth through its eye along the body to the end of the tail. The lower margin of the stripe is wavy and comb-like giving the fish its common name. The portion of the stripe on the tail fin turns yellow during the breeding season. There is also a thin red stripe running along the top of the body from the mouth, along the base of the dorsal fin for the fin's full length. (information from Wikipedia)

Notes:

This fish was spotted at Dallas World Aquarium
