About the Ascension Wrasse
The Ascension wrasse likes to live in areas where there are seagrass beds and rocks. It can be found in water that is not too deep, usually from about 1 meter (3 feet) to 30 meters (98 feet) deep. This fish is quite small, growing up to about 10 centimeters (4 inches) long. Sometimes, people call it a "greenfish" because of its color.
