Labriformes is an order of within the clade Percomorpha.[ This order was previously restricted to Wrasse, Parrotfish, Odacidae, and their close relatives, but most recent studies suggest that the Labriformes also contains highly aberrant groups such as the stargazers and Sand lance, which are placed in their own suborder. Almost all members of this order are marine, with the only exception being the amphidromous torrentfish of New Zealand.]
