Common name: Squirrelfish

Beryciformes is an order of ray-finned fish known for species like Squirrelfish, Soldierfish, Pineconefish, and Fangtooth. These fish are primarily nocturnal and are found in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide. They are characterized by their large eyes, which are an adaptation to their nighttime activity. In the aquarium, they are appreciated for their unique shapes and behaviors, but require caves and overhangs to mimic their natural habitat. They are generally peaceful but can be predatory towards smaller tank mates.
