Synopsis


Some of the most colourful reef fishes are small, rarely noticed or extremely secretive. Best known are the Fairy-Basslets, schooling planktivores that may be so numerous that they could cloud the water above reefs when feeding. Others live singly or in pairs in the back of dark caves and disappear with the slightest of disturbance. About 60 genera are presented here, covering several hundred of species, and included are most species known as Bass or Basslets, Hamlets and the related Soapfishes and Seapearches, plus similar groups that include the Grammas, Longfins, Blue Devils, Hulafishes and Scissortails.
