Blue Spotted Tamarin Wrasse (Anampses caeruleopunctatus)

Come nightfall, or the first sign of trouble, the Tamarin Wrasse does what most sand-diving wrasses do: it dives straight into the substrate and disappears, using loose sand as both a bed and a bunker. Between dives it's an active, fast-swimming forager covered in fine blue spotting, hunting small invertebrates across open reef flats.
