Ecology
Marine; reef-associated; depth range 18 - 91 m (Ref.

Halichoeres
species in Caribbean region with 12 dorsal rays, all other have 11 (Ref.
26938
). Adults with a broad black stripe on upper half of body; narrowing as it passes posteriorly to end in middle of caudal fin; lower half of body light blue-green; head below level of mouth blue-green, above yellow (Ref.
13442
).
Found over hard substrates (Ref.
9626
). Juveniles up to 8 cm act as specialized cleaners. Each individual tends a defined cleaning station sought by several species of reef fishes including damselfishes, goatfishes, and surgeonfishes. At the cleaning station this wrasse swims in a characteristic seesaw motion (Ref.
31373
). Occasionally caught by anglers. Generally of no interest to fisheries because of its small average size (Ref.
5217
). Found at 9 m in Belize (Ref.
26938
).
