WHAT'S ON Many fish in our part of the world are relatively stingy in the colour department. The swimmers and travellers are often basically silvery with maybe a few spots or stripes, while the sedentary fish prefer to merge with their surroundings in masterly camouflage. But the Ornate Wrasse will have none of this merging or monochrome business, indeed it looks as if it belonged more in a tropical coral reef than our humble Mediterranean scene. This fish starts life as a bright green comma, grows through a variety of mixed hues and patterns until it settles into an equally psychedelic adulthood. And the beauty of it is that anyone can enjoy the Ornate Wrasse (M: Lhudi) as it lives all around our shores in very shallow water, as long as there are some rocky areas where it can harass the small snails, shellfish and crabs that form its diet. Incidentally our bright little friend also works that trick several fish have: it starts off as a female and changes into a male by the time it's fully grown. 468.
