Halichoeres sazimai, Sazima's wrasse, is a species of fish in the family Labridae found in deeper (20m+) and cooler waters off southeastern Brazil . It's closely related to the north Atlantic species Halichoeres bathyphillus, but DNA evidence shows they are different.[1] They are often found in small groups of 5-10 individuals around rocky reefs.[2]
