Biology
The genus Sargocentron, known as squirrelfish, includes about 30 species. These fish spend the day resting in caves and crevices, and emerge at night to use their large eyes to hunt.
Curiosities
Red and silvery colours are dominant, and they have venomous spines near the operculum that may cause deep painful wounds.
