Harlequin Sweetlips (Plectorhinchus chaetodonoides) チョウチョウコショウダイ
Harlequin Sweetlips have thick rubbery lips like the other sweetlips. Their spots get smaller as they get larger. This one is getting cleaned by a cleaner wrasse. They are usually found in dark caves during the day. Amami 2023
A juvenile Harlequin Sweetlips looks very different from the adult. It wiggles a lot while it swims. Amami 2024
