Watercolor paintings of Bluehead Wrasse, Thalassoma bifasciatum. This species can change sex, like anemone fish. But, whereas all anemone fish start out male, juvenile Bluehead Wrasse can be either male or female. A few individuals of either sex will change from the intermediate yellow color to become a terminal male, which is the only form to have the blue head.

100 Days of Reef Fish Ugly Fish 9/10: watercolor painting of a Painted Frogfish, Antennarius pictus. Some frogfish, especially juveniles, are ugly in a cute way. But the individual in the reference photo for this painting? Not so much. Painted frogfish can have small, warty bumps and/or scabby patches and/or eye-like spots that mimic the texture of sponges. This guy had all of those plus a very unappealing color scheme.
