Chiseltooth Wrasse (Pseudodax moluccanus) | Digital Marine Atlas

The Unique Deep-Blue Forager of the Indo-Pacific

​The Chiseltooth Wrasse (Pseudodax moluccanus) is an exceptionally unique and fascinating marine species, celebrated for its deep, rich blue-to-dark body brilliantly highlighted by an electric blue neon stripe running along its side, a dark tail band, and a striking yellowish-orange accent on its upper dorsal edge. As a highly active and agile swimmer occupying the middle layers of the water column, it introduces an unparalleled structural elegance, intense coloration, and continuous fluid motion to established marine environments. Maintaining a peaceful temperament within community reef systems, it serves as a wonderful educational subject for the CECOZ Digital Marine Atlas collection, highly valued by marine biologists, research collectors, and advanced hobbyists alike.

​Key Features of this Edition:
