A SuperMale Bird Wrasse. What's with the 'Logo' behind his eye? The beautiful, shaded green 'loop-de-loop' thing fascinates me. Any one have any ideas why they have this 'brand' on them?

I don't know what it's there for but it's pretty. Tell me about the supermale fish again. I can't remember for sure so won't try. That is a pretty fish.

The short of it is that they are all born female. They join a harem. The dominant female within the harem turns (Super)male when the harem Supermale dies. What a fun bunch, eh?
