The Great Change of Life ~
<h1>Domestic and foreign names are different, don't be timid</h1>
Enviable strong figure.
Corrugated lip fish
（Cheilinus undulates）
Bulbophyllum in the family Dipteridae
It is one of the largest and longest-lived reef fish
It is more than 2 meters long
Weight up to 190 kg
Life expectancy exceeds 30 years
It can be called a heart and a wide body and fat.
Corrugated lip fish in adulthood
It is iron blue throughout and has prominent lips
And a high, bulging forehead
This unique shape
Make it like a sunfish
(See previous articles: https://www.toutiao.com/i6482615396074521102/)
It has a very different name at home and abroad:
Because of its raised forehead
It's like wearing a Napoleon hat
Therefore, overseas it is called "Napoleon Seyu".
Because it is behind the fisheye
There are two stripes that resemble eyebrows
Therefore, in China it is called "Sumei fish".
Bubbles bring dangerous news.
But whether it's domestic or foreign
It is illegal to catch wild corrugated lip fish
It is one of the world's endangered species
It is strictly protected by the CITES Convention
And because the artificial culture of corrugated lip fish is still in the experimental stage
Most of the so-called captive cultures are nothing more than the rearing of juvenile fish
Sell it when they grow up
Therefore, the corrugated lip fish in the market are basically wild fish
(Some species known as "freshwater sumei fish" are not like long corrugated lip fish, and there is little information.)
We also hope that everyone will give a resolute resistance.
<h1>One I fell, and there were thousands of me</h1>

Like many marine peoples
The corrugated lip fish is also a fish that promotes the "chieftaincy system"
(See previous articles: Fish sign | flying devil in the ocean, and even support the family planning policy?! ）
That's why
There is a small chance of adult females becoming males
And the opportunity comes when the old male leader dies.
The boss must have a wide-eyed look at the world
Male leader of the corrugated lipfish population
It is generally larger than other males
It has a unique color and pattern.
Are you a boy or a girl?
At the beginning of the new month, the group gathers to mate and lay eggs
Male leaders can mate with most females
And it also has the responsibility of patrolling the turf
Once there is another group of corrugated lipfish invading
It will require violent expulsion of the intruders!
If in the process of unfortunately died in battle
Then the largest female in the group
There is a chance to change sex and become the next male leader
As for why it is the female who changes instead of the male succeeds
At present, the scientific community has not yet reached a conclusion
Little 18 himself guessed that it might be related to coral fish?
After all, its close neighbor, the clownfish, also has the characteristics of transgenderism.
<h1>Go to Palau, what if you meet the "big treasure"? </h1>
Why they were dressed in white, I had an ominous premonition.
Corrugated lip fish are mainly distributed
Coral reefs in Southeast Asia, the Western Pacific ocean and the Indian Ocean
One of palau's corrugated lipfish called "Dabao" is very famous
It has become a local legend
However, since last year, this "big treasure" has not been seen.
Palau
(Palace)
It is known as "God's Aquarium"
The sea here comes in seven colors
There are countless schools of fish on the seabed
You can dance with jellyfish
You can also swim with sharks
Because it has the name of "big treasure"
There should be many people who want to come to Palau to see the corrugated lip fish
The companion should be relatively simple
However, it is important to note that Palau's network has always been bad
People who can't do without the Internet at every moment should be mentally prepared.
<h1>Dive site recommended</h1>
Blue Hole
This dive site is a famous dive site in Palau. Caves, overhanging walls, and a variety of migratory fish are the hallmarks of this area. About three meters below the water, there are four holes that lead into the blue hole, and light rays from the four holes reflect blue light, forming a mysterious scene. The overhanging wall outside the Blue Cave leads to the left to the Blue Corner, which is a premium dive site. Go to the bottom and swarms of fish in the sloping dark abyss pass in front of you in groups of three or five.
Large faults
This dive site is the only one outside the atoll. An underwater cliff with a height difference of several hundred meters. Coral coverage at the bottom of the cliff is as high as 100%. Large schools of fish can be seen swimming by here. If you're lucky, you'll even see dolphins.
Oolong waterway
This dive site is not particularly deep, but it is a difficult dive site. Because the water flow of the Oolong waterway is unpredictable, it follows the current along the waterway. The corals here are excellent, and groupers, clownfish and corrugated lip fish can often be seen swimming by your side.
