''Aeoliscus strigatus'', also known as the razorfish, is a member of the family Centriscidae of the order Syngnathiformes. This unique fish adopts a head-down tail-up position as an adaptation for hiding among sea urchin spines.〔"Eyewitness handbooks Aquarium Fish: The visual guide to more than 500 marine and freshwater fish varieties" By Dick Mills. Page 283〕 The razorfish is found in coastal waters in the Indo-West Pacific.〔http://eol.org/pages/205823/details#distribution〕 Its natural habitat includes beds of sea grass and coral reefs, where sea urchins are found.〔(Ecology Summary - Aeoliscus strigatus )〕 ==Description==
The razorfish is easily identifiable due to its particular body shape as well as its way of moving in synchrone group head down. It is a small fish with a maximum size of long, its body is stretched ending by a long fine "beak". Its fins are considerably reduced and transparent. The dorsal surface of the razorfish is covered by protective bony plates. They extend past the end of the body and over the tail fin, which terminates in a sharp spine. A black to brown median band runs the length of the fish crossing also the eyes. The color of the body is variable with the habitat. In seagrass environment, the background color of the body can be greenish-yellow with light brown stripes. In open areas like sand patch, rubble or close to coral reef, then the body coloration occurs to be light silver with a black to brown stripe.〔Kuiter, Rudie.''Seahorses and their relatives''.Aquatic Photographics,2009,p304.ISBN 9780977537211〕 There is no known sexual dimorphism.
