Description
Randall's Fusilier is a sleek, schooling marine fish known for its reddish-pink body and a distinctive bright yellow stripe running along its back. These active swimmers are found in large aggregations over coral reefs, feeding on zooplankton in the water column. They require a spacious aquarium with plenty of swimming room and should be kept in groups to thrive.
