15/11/2004: "Christmas PhotoCard 1991...........Hump Head Maori Wrasse"
P.S. "Dont Harass the Wrasse" first appeared in PEOPLE magazine as a double page plea to give the species a better deal. It's taken 13 years but CITES meeting in Bangkok just last month voted to prevent the further international trade of these wrasse. It's a good start, but not the total ban needed. Spearmen have a view that requires more 'adjusting'. i.e. "leave them alone".
This is not a trick photo, it's a former attraction of 'The Cod Hole', east of Lizard Island, Qld GBR. It was the 2nd largest wrasse once known to frequent this much-publicised patch of reef.
