Explore the fascinating world of the Common bigeye in the Red Sea (00000855)

Description: The Common bigeye, also known as Priacanthus hamrur, is native to the waters of the Red Sea. These fish are often found in small schools under light-protected coral overhangs. They leave their hiding spots at sunset to hunt small fish or crustaceans, returning safely to their shelters in the morning. With their large eyes, they are particularly adept at hunting and navigating in the darkness at night.
