A kiss in the dreamhouse
-Coris julis (Linnaeus, 1758) http://fishbase.org/summary/Speciessummary.php?id=58
-This colour combination is used by females. The males are more colourful.
-Fishermen consider them as bad luck because they are very hard to get off the hook.
-Mediterranean rainbow wrasse is most common name.
-Protogynous.
-I think that they make signs of alert by raising their first dorsal spine when a diver gets close to them.
-Γύλος το πιο διαδεδομένο όνομα του.
-Pseudocarnanx dentex (Bloch & Schneider, 1801) http://fishbase.org/summary/Speciessummary.php?id=1002
-Κοκάλι το πιο διαδεδομένο κοινό του όνομα.
-Very curious fish. If you are calm it will aproach you.
-When it is young it mimes other fishes. Generally has very strange behavior .
-Both photos taken from Paros island (mikri Santa Maria beach) at summer of 2008.
