Description
The Australian Junker (Ophthalmolepis lineolata, syn .: Julis lineolatus) is a wrasse that lives endemically on the coast of the southern half of Australia. It is missing around Tasmania. The fish lives on rocky reefs that are overgrown with algae and sponges, adult animals often in large numbers on offshore reefs at depths of up to 60 meters. Young fish prefer shallower water and stay individually between rocks, in estuaries and harbors.
