Tan Hamlet

The Tan Hamlet has a body that is tan to yellow-brown. It has a large dark spot on its snout and another small spot located at the upper base of its pectoral fin. There is also a faint spot on the base of its tail.

This Hamlet eats small fish and crustaceans such as shrimp and crabs. It may mimic a Damselfish in behavior or habitat to gain an advantage, though the mimicry remains unconfirmed. It has both male and female reproductive organs and can take on either role during spawning. Pairs take turns releasing eggs and sperm in a ritual that occurs at dusk.
