Semicossyphus reticulatus Courtship | Asian Sheepshead Wrasse
Pictured here is a mature male Asian sheepshead wrasse (Semicossyphus reticulatus) courting a smaller female wrasse. Note that the female’s belly is swollen with eggs, indicative of her receptivity for spawning. The male takes on this white coloration for breeding and territorial competition with other males.
