The Black-tipped Fusilier can be identified by their black tips on the caudal fin (hence the name). They display a blue to green upper body and silver to white lower body with two distinct yellow/orange lines running along their entire body length (One positioned along the lateral line and the other just above). This fusilier is known to change their colour during the night to a orange/brown with white bars over the top of the fish. Usually found inhabiting coastal and coral reefs in schools.
