sex change of Blue Star Wrasse

[fullmonti]

Can Blue Star wrasses change their sex like some other fish can? I have had a female for couple years & she has lost pretty much all the orange spotted coloration & is starting to get blue green stripes like a male Blue Start.

Yep, they change from female to male.

OK thanks, it sure looked like that was what was happening.

Yes, they do. The male coloration is pretty but not as pretty as the female.
