Cirrhitidae

The Cirrhitidae are one of Poisson S sailors of Perciformes which is represented by 12 S and 33 S.

These fish are commonly called “fish-sparrowhawks” or “fish-falcons” because of their technique of hunting consisting in remaining motionless in the reef and melting on their prey in an abrupt acceleration as soon as this one becomes accessible.
