The Suez fusilier, Caesio suevica, is a species commonly found in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. These fish are known for their schooling behavior and can grow up to 25 cm in length. With a lifespan of around 5 years, they are a vital part of the reef community, contributing to the balance of the ecosystem by feeding on zooplankton. The fusiliers' striking coloration is not just for show; it plays a crucial role in intra-species recognition and helps in evading predators. Their sleek body shape allows for swift and agile swimming, essential for navigating through the complex coral structures and strong currents of their natural habitat.
