Glass eye squirrelfish Profile

The Glass eye squirrelfish (Heteropriacanthus cruentatus) is a brightly colored reef fish, primarily known for its vibrant red hue with large, prominent eyes. It is native to the Western Atlantic Ocean, including the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. Characterized by its slender, elongated body, and large, distinct dorsal fin, this species stands out in its natural habitat. Despite its striking appearance, it is not commonly found in the aquarium hobby, likely due to its specific care requirements and less common availability.
