The African clown wrasse, or Coris gaimard, is a solitary fish that changes color throughout its life, transitioning from orange with black and white eye spots in juveniles to a multicolored pattern in adults. Females turn into males, recognizable by the large green lines on their head. This species mainly feeds on mollusks, crabs, and hermit crabs and primarily resides in reefs.

Large males can be recognized by their green backs, their white bellies and their broad orange line on the flanks. The coloration, associated with a characteristic swimming, is used to impress other males and attract the attention of females, but also predators.
