The Slingjaw Wrasse gets its name from its telescopic mouth. When feeding, its jaws extend over half its length. This Wrasse is usually brown in color and will readily accept larger frozen foods. This Wrasse is originally found around reefs in the Indo Pacific. Make sure to not mix this Wrasse with any small fishthat can fit in its mouth, or any fish that is too aggressive.
