The longspine squirrelfish (Holocentrus rufus) is a silvery-red sea fish adorned with orange-gold stripes. Among the 150 species of squirrelfish, it is notable for its large eyes and the long third spine of its anal fin. This species, reaching about 18 cm (7.8 inches) in length, is often featured in public aquariums. It inhabits coral reefs in tropical and warm temperate waters, feeding on zoobenthos. Territorial by nature, it communicates using "grunts" and "staccatos" to defend its territory, alert others to danger, and deter predators like moray eels. The longspine squirrelfish is also edible and harvested on a small scale.
