Male Western King Wrasse (Coris auricularis) at Rottnest Island, Western Australia.
King wrasse are common on the Rottnest reefs. There is usually one male, large, fat and resplendent in colourful markings, with a harem of any number of females, smaller, sleeker, and mostly white. The females stick together and drift over the reef, grazing on algae. The male will swim around above the reef, sticking his snout into anything interesting. But it takes a few tricks to get him to smile!
