Leopard Wrasse Transitioning

[Rtaylor]

Millie is becoming Milton!
I added a tiny female blue star leopard wrasse a couple of months ago. It looks like the much larger female already established is now transitioning to male. Thought I’d share a few pics.

So of course he won’t hold still so I can get a good pic, but his face and front 2/3 of his body look totally transitioned. His tail looks like it might have a bit more changing yet to go.

Thanks it can take a while then. Not sure why people say it’s ugly as a male, I absolutely love the stripes and blue coloring.
