slippery dick

Slippery Dick (Halichoeres bivittatus), family Labridae, order Labriformes, found in the tropical western Atlantic

Like many wrasses, this fish is a protogynous hermaphrodite, starting life as a female, and becoming male later in life.

Although the sea water is still cold, swimming refreshes me.

Oh. W R A S S E. Like the fish. Ok fine. Still hard to choose I guess. Careful with how you pronounce that in the future.

30. Stupidest aquatic animal name?

Bonus points because I know a guy who teaches kids about the environment. But he can’t exactly say “dick” around a bunch of kindergartners so he calls this guy the “Elusive Richard”

You get a Slippery Dick

Here are google picture examples:

Forgot about that thing.

Some swatches, top is basegame. Tail is short.
