Description
The Hussar is a large, predatory marine fish characterized by its reddish-pink body, often with faint horizontal stripes, and striking yellow eyes. They are typically found schooling over coral reefs and rocky bottoms in the Indo-West Pacific. Due to their size and predatory nature, they require a very large aquarium.
