Purple firefish — size comparison — facts and sources

The purple firefish has a pale front, purple snout and darker rear. Red bands edged with violet decorate its dorsal, anal and tail fins. It inhabits outer Indo-Pacific reef slopes.

It stays above sand and rubble near holes in hard substrate. It picks copepods and crustacean larvae from passing water. Adults often pair; disturbed fish abruptly disappear into shelter.
