This fish is named napoleon or better known as the Napoleon Wrasse. Napoleon Fish (Cheilunus undulatus) is one of the large reef fish that live in the tropics. The length of this fish can reach 1.5 meters. And some fish can reach sizes up to 180 kg at the age of 50 years. Animal life is generally similar to other reef fish that live in solitary. The divers usually find these fish swim alone in the area around the reef. And usually very tame with the divers. This fish is usually is usually not disturbed by the activities of the divers. One uniqueness of this animal is the circumference of eyes that can see the point of view to 180 degrees. The habit of living alone at certain depths makes this animal highly anticipated by the divers to see or even take pictures of this animal.

The habit of living alone at certain depths makes this animal highly anticipated by the divers to see or even take pictures of this animal. Usually the fish swim their own foraging areas near reefs, because the food in the form of some type of sea urchin, mollusk and crustacean indeed many are in the area around the reef. These fish have a reproductive pattern of the hermaphrodite. Usually these fish were born as males and females will turn into just before adulthood. So sometimes found a male dominance in one population of small to medium-size fish will turn into domination and female population as it approached the mature gonad. This is indeed a unique phenomenon of the wild, which is one strategy the majority of marine animals utntuk maintain their population lives.
Until now, this very lack of research that reveals patterns of adaptation that can be developed by a single fish was clear that to date the animal population is very small and is one fish that is very protected. The population of this fish is usually found in areas far from the activities of the bombing because of some experience of the divers, said that napoleon fish will be very rarely found in areas with the corals that have been damaged by bombing and / or regions that use a lot of potassium cyanide. This illustrates that the existence of this fish is highly dependent on the ecosystem intact.
Costly trade of this fish is one cause of fish population is very much reduced nature. The color is soft white flesh with a flavor that is delicious, making it increasingly hunted fish. Some States which are recorded as importing these fish are Singapore, China, Hong Kong and Japan. Also been recorded several orders originating from Canada, America and some European country of residence. Although carried out by unofficial
