The napoleon (also called giant wrasse) is a pretty big fish that can live up to 50 years!
Possessing beautiful colors drawing on blue and green, it is always a pleasure to see it. Solitary and usually not scared, you can enjoy it.
His name comes from Napoleon's cocked hat, which looks like his hump.
