what makes a wrasse a super male?

What is the difference between a supermale vs. a regular adult male? Is the pattern different or are they just bigger? Thanks all

I think the term supermale is used as a description of an exceptionally nice male more then anything else.

Is the color more brilliant??
So you have seen adult sizes the same size as the supermale?

Do all adult males have the capability of turning into a super male?

Yes all males or even females have the capability of turning in to a supermale. The supermales from the wild are generally very large. I’ve seen sub males and females that turned supermale and are still very small in captivity. In fact the one I have at home was a female when we got it, it has since turned in to a supermale but is still very small compared.
