Identifying fusiliers - generally - is relatively easy. They're sleek, and most species have "V" shaped tails, often with black tips. Figuring out exactly which species you've found can be harder, as they're not well documented.

Please note: Identification of fish, corals, etc. is a tricky business. It's entirely possible that I've incorrectly identified a photo I've taken. If you spot an error, please contact me so I can correct it and improve this resource.
