Captured this image of a Napoleon Wrasse while on a scuba dive trip to Palau. It is one of the largest reef fishes in the world and is the largest member of the wrasse family. They can grow up to 230 cm and weigh 190 kg. They have fleshy lips and a hump over the head that is similar to a Napoleon hat. The hump becomes more prominent with age. We were about 60 feet deep when this one came near us and I caught him with my strobes just right lighting up the reef under the fish and catching a couple divers in the background.

I will have to say I was "Rocked" when I saw this one featured. It has not gotten much attention but maybe it will now
