Neoniphon is a genus of hussar fish (Holocentrinae), to which six rather slender species are counted. The yellow-striped hussar lives in the Caribbean , the other species in the tropical Indo-Pacific .
features
Your body is three to four times longer than it is tall. The fish have a pointed mouth and a protruding lower jaw. The last ray of the first, hard-nosed dorsal fin is closer to the first ray of the second, soft-nosed dorsal fin than its front neighbor. Neoniphon species grow to be 18 to 35 centimeters long. They are reddish or silvery in color and have longitudinal stripes on their flanks. With its meaning "fresh snow", the scientific name alludes to the light coloration of some species.
