    Wow ! Su Mei , yummy , but very expensive now. $21 / 100g in the restaurant. Used to have it in my home town at reasonable price. Now all these fishes are exporting to SG, HK, and China.

    If they are really relative, should be some distant relative.
    Their living habits are quite different too.
    The hump heads like to cruise in big fleet, and I mean really big, I estimate to see hundreds, smallest about 1m while I was diving in Manado.

    Napoleon Warsse on the other hand seems to prefer living alone.

    Yah its Napolean wrasse...
    Another similar looking fish in my opinion is the bumphead parrotfish...
    Both beautiful fishes...

    Scuba divers will be very familiar with them...
    Alas, they are now quite sought after by the chinese restaurants... Fetching a very high price too...

    Personally, they are so much more beautiful in the sea than on the dinner plate.
