DescriptionSargocentron spiniferum is the largest squirrelfish in its range and can reach up to {{convert|51|cm|in|abbr=on}} in length and {{convert|2.6|kg|lb|abbr=on}} in weight (the Atlantic Holocentrus adscensionis can surpass the length, but it is slimmer).[1][2] A more common length for S. spiniferum is {{convert|35|cm|in|abbr=on}}.[1] The body is oval and laterally compressed. The head has a pointed snout and large eyes, being largely nocturnal. The basic colour is bright red. It has silver scale margins, a spinous dorsal fin and a large deep red patch just behind the eyes. The lower jaw protrudes beyond the upper jaw. It bears a very long preopercle spine (near the gill-opening). The anal and ventral fins are yellowish. The caudal fin is clearly bifid. DistributionThis species is widespread throughout the tropical Indo-Pacific, from the Red Sea and Indian Ocean up to Hawaii, Japan and southern Australia. HabitatThis squirrelfish can be found in tropical waters on coral reefs, from shallow water to a depth of {{convert|120|m|ft|abbr=on}}.
