<fishfyi-fish slug="african-clown-wrasse"></fishfyi-fish>Overview
Juveniles and adults of Coris gaimard differ so sharply in colour that the two stages were long taken for separate fishes: the young are vividly orange and white, while adults develop a dark, blue-spotted pattern. The wrasse reaches 40 cm and ranges widely across the Indo-Pacific, including the East African coast, over coral reefs from the surface to about 50 metres. It belongs to the family Labridae in the order Perciformes.
