Cheilinus is a genus of fish in the family Labridae native to the Indian and Pacific Ocean. [2]
There are currently seven recognized species in this genus:
The white-barred wrasse ( Cheilinus quinquecinctus ) [3] is treated as a synonym of Cheilinus fasciatus by Fishbase. [4]
Anampses is a genus of wrasses native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Choerodon is a genus of wrasses native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean. They are commonly referred to as tuskfish, because most species have sharp tusk-like teeth.
Coris is a genus of wrasses, collectively known as the rainbow wrasses, found in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans.
Pseudojuloides is a genus of wrasses native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Thalassoma is a genus of wrasses native to the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans. Many species occasionally make their way into the aquarium trade.
The red-breasted wrasse is a species of wrasse native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean.
Halichoeres are a genus of wrasses found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans.
The six-line wrasse is a species of marine ray-finned fish from the family Labridae which has a wide Indo-Pacific distribution. This species is associated with coral reefs and can be found in the aquarium trade.
Klunzinger's wrasse, also known as Rüppell's wrasse, is a species of ray-finned fish, a wrasse from the family Labridae which is endemic to the Red Sea. It inhabits the margins and seaward slopes of reefs at depths from 1 to 30 m. It can reach 20 cm (7.9 in) in total length. This species can be found in the aquarium trade.
The barred thicklip wrasse is a species of fish belonging to the wrasse family, native from the Indo-Pacific.
Symphodus is a genus of wrasses native to the eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
The broomtail wrasse is a species of wrasse native to the Red Sea and Indian Ocean.
Hemigymnus is a genus of wrasses native to the Indian and Pacific oceans.
Oxycheilinus is a genus of fish in the family Labridae found in the Indian and Pacific Ocean.
The tripletail wrasse is a species of marine ray-finned fish from the family Labridae, the wrasses.
Centrolabrus melanocercus, the black-tailed wrasse, is a species of marine ray-finned fish from the wrasse family Labridae which is found in the Mediterranean Sea and the Sea of Marmara. This species was formally described in 1810 as Lutjanus melanocercus by Antoine Risso with the type locality given as Saint Hospice near Villefranche-sur-Mer on the Mediterranean coast of France. This species was regarded as a member of the genus Symphodus but meristic and behavioural data placed it closer to the rock cook than the sexually dimorphic paternal nesting fishes in Symphodus. This species prefers areas with rocks or eelgrass at depths from 1 to 25 m. It can reach 14 cm (5.5 in) in total length, though most do not exceed 11 cm (4.3 in).
Cheilinus abudjubbe, the Abudjubbe wrasse, is a species of ray-finned fish from the family Labridae, the wrasses. It is found in the western Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. This species was formally described by Eduard Rüppell in 1835, no type locality was given but it is thought to have been Jeddah. This taxon is regarded as a synonym of the tripletail wrasse by some authorities.
The snooty wrasse, also known as the red maori wrasse, is a species of marine ray-finned fish from the family Labridae, the wrasses. It is a widespread Indo-Pacific reef fish.
Lapanella fasciata is a species of marine ray-finned fish from the family Labridae, the wrasses. It is found in the eastern Atlantic Ocean from Portugal to Morocco, as well as Madeira and the Azores, and in the Mediterranean Sea as far east as the Adriatic Sea. It lives in deep, rock areas where it feeds on crabs, molluscs and polychaete worms.
Halichoeres brasiliensis, or the Brazilian wrasse, is a species of salt water wrasse found in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean, from Brazil to Trinidad Island.
