For curiosity's sake we'll mention the
granddaddy of all wrasses that just happens to be in this genus.
The Humphead or Napoleon Wrasse, Cheilinus undulatus
Ruppell 1835 (2) looks like a tropical ornamental in photographs that
lack visual size clues, but it gets the size of your couch! To seven
feet (2.3m) and more than four hundred pounds. Folks ought to leave this
friendly giant in the sea. Here a two foot juvenile in the Red Sea 2019. |

Oxycheilinus digrammus (Lacepede 1801), the
Cheeklined Wrasse (2) is probably the most commonly offered member of the
genus. Initially healthy specimens do well, but most are received from
the wild in poor condition. Indo-Pacific, including the Red Sea, out to
Samoa. To sixteen inches in length in the wild. Upper Sinai, Red Sea
2019. |

Thalassoma rueppellii (Klunzinger 1871),
Klunzinger's Wrasses (2). One of the few "klunkers"
from the Red Sea. To eight inches maximum length. Formerly and
often still misidentified as T. klunzingeri. Upper Sinai 2019.
