''Sargocentron'' is a genus of squirrelfish found in tropical parts of the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, with the greatest species diversity near reefs in the Indo-Pacific. Being largely or entirely nocturnal, they have relatively large eyes. Red and silvery colours dominate. The preopercle spines (near the gill-opening) are venomous, and can give painful wounds. Most have a maximum length of 15-25 cm (6-10 in), but ''S. iota'' barely reaches 8 cm (3 in), and ''S. spiniferum'' can reach approximately 50 cm (20 in). ==Species== There are currently 33 recognized species in this genus: * ''Sargocentron bullisi'' (Woods, 1955) (deepwater squirrelfish) * ''Sargocentron caudimaculatum'' (Rüppell, 1838) (silverspot squirrelfish) * ''Sargocentron cornutum'' (Bleeker, 1853) (threespot squirrelfish) * ''Sargocentron coruscum'' (Poey, 1860) (reef squirrelfish) * ''Sargocentron diadema'' (Lacépède, 1802) (crown squirrelfish) * ''Sargocentron dorsomaculatum'' (Shimizu & Yamakawa, 1979) (spotfin squirrelfish) * ''Sargocentron ensifer'' (D.
