About
The Napoleon wrasse — also known as the humphead wrasse — is the largest member of the wrasse family, growing up to 2 metres. Their unmistakable bulging forehead and thick, fleshy lips make them instantly recognisable. In Baa Atoll, they are regularly encountered at thila dive sites, where they patrol the reef with a calm, almost regal bearing.
