The species inhabits steep outer reef slopes, channel slopes and lagoon reefs. Primary food are mollusks, fishes, sea urchins, crustaceans and other invertebrates. Napoleon Wrasse is one of the few predators of toxic animals such as sea hares, boxfishes and crown-of-thorns starfish. Napoleon Wrasse is is seriously endangered, being hunted to the brink of extinction to feed a growing demand among wealthy Chinese diners for luxury live fish. Not wise, so crown-of-thorns starfishes take over and destroy the reefs. Palau, Micronesia, 7°8'0.39 N 134°13'12.99 E at 15m depth

$Bristle-Tailed Filefish Acreichthys tomentosus occurs in the tropical Indo-West Pacific from Sri Lanka eastward through Indonesia to New Caledonia, north to southern Japan usually in a depth range from 2 to 15m (this specimen a bit deeper), max. length 14cm. \nThe adults of the solitary species inhabit weed and rubble areas on shallow coral reefs and they are commonly found in seagrasses, feeding on amphipods, polychaetes and molluscs. \nThis juvenile specimen was encountered near a Cactus Algae. Cactus Algae or Calcareous Green Seaweed Halimeda tuna occurs on volcanic rocks at shallow intertidal to subtidal depths. Halimeda tuna is characterized by the formation of stems up to 20 cm high, formed by fragments in the form of kidney-shaped and flat discs up to 2.5 cm in diameter, linked together. The fragments are thicker at their ends and generally present calcareous incrustations. The max. size of a fragment is 25mm, a perfect reference for the size of the juvenile Filefish who probably is mimicking a fragment of Halimeda tuna. \nLembeh Strait, Indonesia \n1°28'30.396 N 125°15'1.92 E at 17m depth$
