Biology

provided by Fishbase
Adults occur in clear lagoon and seaward reefs from the lower surge zone to a depth of 30 m (Ref. 1602). Usually in areas with mixed rubble, coral, or rock and sand (Ref. 9710). Usually solitary among large corals. Small juveniles swim with their head down, keeping dorsal and anal fins erected, and may seem like the face of a larger fish when viewed from side on by a predator (Ref. 48636). Oviparous, distinct pairing during breeding (Ref. 205). Occasionally seen in fish markets and aquarium trade.

The yellow-breasted wrasse, Anampses twistii, is a species of wrasse native to the tropical waters of the Indo-Pacific area from the Red Sea to the Tuamoto Islands. It is found in lagoons and on reefs at depths of 5 to 30 m (16 to 98 ft). It can reach a length of 18 cm (7.1 in). It is of minor importance to local commercial fisheries and can be found in the aquarium trade.[2]

Etymology

The specific name honours the Governor-General of the Dutch East Indies from 1851 to 1856 Albertus Jacobus Duymaer van Twist (1809-1887).[3]
