razorfish

Slender reef dweller

Razorfish are slender marine fish with compressed bodies and sharp-edged profiles, resembling a straight razor.

The name applies to several unrelated species sharing this blade-like appearance.

In aquarium keeping, razorfish often refers to small wrasses that dive into sand when threatened.

The razorfish disappeared into the substrate the moment I approached the tank.
