Info
Pterocaesio randalli occurs in schools in coral reefs, often in groups with other species of fusiliers.
The dorsal fin of this fusilier is blue-green to reddish, and the axilla of the pectoral fin and tips of the caudal fin lobes are black.
Pectoral, pelvic and anal fins are white to pink.
Fusiliers in the sea with their fast swimming movements and flashing colors are unforgettable diving memories.
Although fusiliers are fast swimmers, they are often preyed upon by even more agile predators such as spiny mackerel and dogtooth tuna (Gymnosarda unicolor).
The species name was named in honor of Dr. John Randall, the world-renowned ichthyologist.
