Barred thicklip
- Rareness:★★★★★
Identified by the stripes on the side of its body. Like the name suggests, the lips are thick particularly in adults. It looks like the blackeye thicklip, however it can be distinguished by its vertical bands. The juvenile lives in gaps between stony corals. Image is of an adult and juvenile fish.
