The Puddingwife is a species of wrasse that occurs from Florida to Brazil. Wrasses are a varied group of fish that are characterized by their big lips. Bonairean reefs are home to wrasses of many different colors. The puddingwife wrasse has striking markings, that can be seen in the center of these photos. These fish were about 12 inches long, and display the initial phase of coloring. (The other fish are yellow goatfish.)
I tried to discover the story behind their name, but couldn't find anything.
