Description
The red-lined wrasse can grow to about 12 cm (4.7 in) in length. Mature males are silvery grey with narrow, longitudinal, red stripes and a dark mark on their caudal peduncles. Females have narrow orange stripes, continuous near the front, but intermittent near the back. Juveniles and females have two distinctive, dark-coloured spots outlined in white on their dorsal fins, one in the middle and one near the back. These may fade as the fish matures. The long, narrow dorsal fin has 9 spines and 12 soft rays. The anal fin has three spines and 11 or 12 soft rays.
