The Samarai Squirrelfish has bright red and silvery-white stripes, and a bright red dorsal fin. As with other squirrels, they are safe with coral and with fish large enough not to become prey. These large eyes help them to see better in the dark as they are usually found in large schools beneath ledges or in dark cave recesses. They may be housed alone, or in small congregations, in aquariums with plenty of rocks and caves with overhangs which they can lurk beneath.
