Also known as a Black Bar Soldierfish, the bigeye squirrelfish is nocturnal. During the daytime it will hide in caves and avoid the light. Make sure it has some nice hiding places to help avoid the daylight.The man who named and discovered this fish in 1829 was one of the most famous zoologists of the time, Frenchman Georges Cuvier. We see the name "cuvier" quite a bit in our hobby.
