  • ABOUT CUCKOO WRASSE THE FISH

    Cuckoo Wrasse the Fish [ Not Cuckoo Rass the Band ]

    The Cuckoo Wrasse (Labrus Mixtus) may not be the most abundant of the wrasse species, but its magnificent colouration tends to make it the most memorable. Colouration varies with age and sex; females and immature males tend to be yellowish brown to coral pink with a distinctive row of black and white blotches along the posterior section of the dorsal fin, and with blue edging to the fins. Mature males have a brilliant blue head with further blue markings interspersed with orange or yellow down the flanks. The blue edging of the other fins tends to be greater in comparison with that of the female or immature males. In spring, when courtship starts, the already colourful male becomes even brighter so as to attract as many females as possible. All cuckoo wrasse start life as females. The gaudy male usually has a harem of several females and if he dies one of them will change sex to replace him. Cuckoo Wrasse males can reach 35cm in length with females usually being smaller upto 30cm.

    The cuckoo wrasse is usually restricted to slightly deeper water than other wrasse species, Over rocks and hard ground, and in the algal zone between 20m - 80m so is less often seen when diving from the shore. Inquisitive and territorial males will often swim up to a diver's mask and look them straight in the eye before following them at close quarters, even taking the odd nibble on a fin strap or dangling torch on occasion. Like other wrasse, the cuckoo's have a narrow long head and a pointed snout with a large mouth with lips made up of 7 -9 folds and has strong teeth, both in the jaws (for biting and rasping) and on the pharyngeal bones in the throat (for gripping and crushing) for eating molluscs and crustaceans.
