With more than 500 species from over 65 genera, the Wrasses (Lab­ridae) are after the gobies (Gobiidae) the second largest marine fish family. The majority of species can be found a pro­nounced sexual dimor­phism linked with a gor­geous color. It is espe­cially the males showing a true firework of colors in many species.

But what’s a meaning behind the so eye-catching colours, with the males not only females to draw attention, but also potential pre­d­ators? The colours of male for females — here lun­u­latus from the Red Sea a broom tail splendor lipp­fi­sches Chei­linus — is a unique indi­cator for his health and for his general fitness in the daily struggle for sur­vival. Who is so strikingly colorful, must be at the same time strong and agile in the reef between members and beyond com­pe­tition can prevail against.

Of course “good genes” are essential, and that is what is the most important cri­terion when choosing a partner for females: magni­ficent colour = optimal fitness = good genes!
