Sargocentron
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Sargocentron is a genus of squirrelfish (family Holocentridae) found in tropical parts of the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, with the greatest species diversity near reefs in the Indo-Pacific.[1] Being largely or entirely nocturnal, they have relatively large eyes. Red and silvery colours dominate. The preopercle spines (near the gill-opening) are venomous and can give painful wounds.[2][3] Most have a maximum length of Script error: No such module "convert"., but S. iota barely reaches Script error: No such module "convert"., and S. spiniferum can reach more than Script error: No such module "convert"..[1]
