Maori Wrasse

There is a Maori Wrasse on the Great Barrier Reef; it's two metres long and weighs nearly two hundred kilos. It's huge.

It is very different from the Maori Wrasse we get in Sydney - these are tiny by comparison. Although they are different species they share the same name.

Our local Maori Wrasse is also known as a Butchers Prick, but we thought Maori Wrasse was a lot less rude.
