Stethojulis is a genus of wrasses native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans. [1]
The currently recognized species in this genus are: [1]
Chromis is a genus of fish in the family Pomacentridae. While the term damselfish describes a group of marine fish including more than one genus, most damselfish are in the genus Chromis. These fish are popular aquarium pets due to their small size, tolerance for poor water quality, and bright colors, though their lifespans tend to be shorter than other fish.
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.
Pseudolabrus is a genus of wrasses native to the eastern Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.
Thalassoma is a genus of wrasses native to the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Cirrhilabrus is a genus of fish in the family Labridae native to reefs in the Indian and Pacific Ocean, commonly kept in aquaria.
Halichoeres, commonly called wrasses, are a genus of fish in the family Labridae found in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Pseudocheilinus is a genus of wrasses native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Ostorhinchus is a genus of ray-finned fish in the family Apogonidae native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans.
Gnatholepis is a genus of fish in the family Gobiidae, the gobies. It is the only marine genus in the subfamily Gobionellinae, which otherwise includes mostly estuary-dwelling and freshwater fish. Gnatholepis are tropical fish associated with sandy habitat around corals.

Oxycheilinus is a genus of fish in the family Labridae found in the Indian and Pacific Ocean.
Pseudocoris is a genus of wrasses native to the eastern Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean.
Pteragogus is a genus of wrasses native to the Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean.
Stethojulis trilineata, also known as the blue-ribbon wrasse, red shouldered rainbow-fish, scarlet-banded rainbowfish, three-blueline wrasse, three-lined rainbowfish or three-lined wrasse, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a wrasse from the family Labridae. It is found in the Indo-Pacific region where it is associated with reefs.
Stethojulis strigiventer, also known as the three-ribbon wrasse, silverstreak wrasse, silverbelly wrasse, lined rainbowfish or silver-streaked rainbowfish, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a wrasse from the family Labridae. This species occurs in beds of seagrass and areas of inner reefs and shallow lagoons where there is a substrate consisting of mixed sand, rubble, and algae. It is found in small groups which swim over large areas down as deep as 20 metres (66 ft). The range of this species extends from the Red Sea southwards along the eastern coast of Africa to Algoa Bay in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa and eastwards to the Marshall and Tuamotu islands, it also extends north to Honshu and south to New South Wales. This species was first formally described as Julis strigiventer in 1833 by the English zoologist Edward Turner Bennett (1797-1836) with the type locality given as Mauritius. When Albert Günther created the genus Stethojulis he designated Julis strigiventer as the type species.
