Brilliant shades of violet and purple make this Creole Wrasse an unmistakable presence as it swims through its habitat at the Texas State Aquarium in Corpus Christi. The close view highlights the fish's streamlined form, delicate fins, and striking coloration against the subdued aquatic surroundings.
