Redlip Parrotfish (Scarus rubroviolaceus) ナガブダイ – Blackvein – Half&half Parrotfish – uhu palukaluka (f) uhu ‘ele’ele (M) (size 70cm)
A male Redlip Parrotfish has red or pink lips. The back half of the fish is usually lighter than the front half on both sexes. Amami 2023
A female Redlip Parrotfish is also darker in the front. The edges of the scales are black which gives it a black vein sort of look. Amami 2023
This may be a juvenile Redlip Parrotfish. It is from one source from the internet. I usually like a little more confirmation. I am pretty sure that it is a juvenile parrotfish. Amami 2024
