Razorfish

Scientific name: Aeoliscus strigatus

Razorfish get my vote as one of the stranger fish species. They always swim in schools, in a vertical orientation with their heads pointing towards the bottom. As if that wasn't strange enough, they seem to swim with amazing synchronisity, making rapid direction shifts suddenly and all together.

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.
