Juvenile Bluehead Wrase - Thalassoma bifasciatum
Size: 4-5 inches, maximum 6 inches. Depth: 6-80 feet.
Wrasse are closely related to parrotfish and are prolific reef inhabitants. Yellows, greens and blues are the predominant colors. All have noticeable front teeth giving them the "bucktoothed profile". By day Wrasse swim around coral heads, at night several species bury themselves in the sand.

From a set of 12 postcards called:
Cruising the Caribbean (each card also has a recipe on the back)
inside the folder holding the card it reads:
Pristine beaches, tranquil shady palm trees, tropical warm breezes and a laid-back lifestyle make the islands of the Caribbean relaxing, enchanting, enticing, entertaining, and inviting. Thousands of visitors arrive to one or more of the many Caribbean islands each year to find their perfect sun-kissed vacation destination is the one they will never forget.
The Caribbean has it all!!
