The Suez Fusilier, known scientifically as Caesio suevica, is named for the Suez Canal area where it is commonly found. These fish are widespread throughout the Indo-Pacific, from the Red Sea to the coasts of South Africa and eastwards to Samoa. They are typically found at depths ranging from the surface to about 20 meters, often above coral reefs where they feed on zooplankton. The Suez Fusilier is known for its schooling behavior, which not only provides protection from predators but also creates a breathtaking underwater display, as seen in this video.
