Comb Wrasse (Coris picta) - Juvenile Phase | Digital Marine Atlas

The Elegant Sand Diver of the Pacific

​The Comb Wrasse (featured here in its distinctive juvenile phase) is a sleek, highly active, and beautifully patterned fish. Recognized by its stark white lower body and the bold, continuous black horizontal stripe running from its snout to its tail, it is a fascinating bottom-swimmer. Found across a wide range of habitats—from tropical reefs to temperate waters—it requires an aquarium with a deep sand bed to exhibit its natural sand-diving behavior.
