Lunar-tailed bigeye (Priacanthus hamrur), Zanzibar, Tanzania. This species of Bigeyes is uncommon but widespread in the Indo-Pacific, from the Red Sea and southern Africa to French Polynesia, southern Japan, and Australia. They live in tropical marine waters on outer reef slopes and rocky areas and in lagoons at depths of 8–250 metres (26–820 ft), but most commonly from 30–50 metres (98–164 ft). This species reaches a size of 20 centimetres (7.9 in) at sexual maturity, but males can reach a maximum length of 45 centimetres (18 in). It feeds primarily at night on small fishes and small crustaceans and various invertebrates (small cephalopods, shrimp, crabs, polychaete worms, etc.).
