Cigar Wrasse Found A Pastel Wrasse In A Hole #shorts

A cigar wrasse (Cheilio inermis) – with its extremely elongated body, glowing golden-yellow stripe, and electric blue operculum spot – was cruising the reef when it spotted something: a tiny pastel green wrasse hovering over a sand hole. The pastel wrasse vanished inside. The cigar wrasse followed. When it emerged moments later, the cigar wrasse’s mouth was held wide open – revealing food inside. Then, it ate. What happened to the pastel wrasse? Did the cigar wrasse find a meal in the hole? Or was the pastel wrasse the meal? Shot in photorealistic underwater portrait (9:16). Indo-Pacific reef habitat. Natural sunlight. Pure intrigue.
