Bicolor goatfish

The Bicolor goatfish (Parupeneus barberinoides) is a distinctively colored marine fish, primarily recognizable by its two-tone coloration of white and red, with a black blotch on its side. Originating from the Indo-Pacific region, this species exhibits a slender body shape typical of goatfish, including the characteristic barbels (whisker-like structures) near the mouth, which are utilized for searching food on the seabed. While it possesses a striking appearance, the Bicolor goatfish is not particularly well-known or common in the aquarium hobby, possibly due to its specific care requirements and size.
