Thank you! I will edit it. It was on National Museum of Marine Biology's tank ^^

Amelia, a great portrait of a very striking fish! Mary got the ID spot on, this is a Napoleon wrasse, which is also called the humphead wrasse :) Could you update your spotting with the details? Thanks! Also, just wondering if you saw this in a tank or saw it while diving - just curious because the lighting is fantastic haha!
