Convict fish

Distribution : Western Pacific, from the Coral Triangle to the Solomon Islands.

Convict fish reveal a reef threaded with hidden shelters. Juveniles gather near refuges in shallow coastal reefs; the video cannot measure their depth.

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?

Juveniles have a very elongated dark body with one continuous pale flank stripe. Adult markings change. Size depends strongly on age; the filmed juveniles cannot be measured.

WHERE DOES IT LIVE?

This western Pacific species uses tunnel networks in reefs. Juvenile groups remain associated with these refuges even when moving above the bottom.

WHAT DOES IT EAT?

Juveniles leave shelter to forage. The consulted references do not establish a particular guide-linked prey; no individual food link is invented.
