Sabre Squirrelfish peeping out from under a coral ledge
Reef fish pictures. Sabre Squirrelfish timidly peeping out from beneath a coral ledge. Sabre Squirrelfish are the largest of the Squirrelfishes, they spend their days hiding under ledges or reef outcrops, emerging at night to feed. Another feature of the Sabre Squirrelfish is its very long preopercle spine (near the gill opening), which is highly venomous (hence the common name Spiny Squirrelfish).
Individually crafted - we take pride in our unique collection of underwater photography. Our high quality photo prints featuring pictures of tropical fish are printed individually to order.
