Common name: Soldierfish

Myripristis is a genus of fish commonly known as soldierfish or squirrelfish, belonging to the family Holocentridae. These nocturnal fish are characterized by their large eyes, which are adapted to low light conditions, and their vibrant red or orange coloration. They are generally peaceful and can be kept with other non-aggressive fish. In the wild, they are found in tropical and subtropical oceans around the world, often hiding in crevices during the day. Myripristis species are not the most active swimmers, so they do well in aquariums with plenty of hiding places and a calm environment.
