•  Info Red Sea bannerfish (Heniochus intermedius), Red Sea, Egypt. The Red Sea bannerfish attains as maximum total length of 18 centimetres (7.1 in) and is native to the western Indian Ocean where it is found in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. It's associated with coral reefs where it is most frequently recorded as a solitary fish or in pairs, although large schools have been recorded. The juveniles form large schools, particularly in areas of deep reef where there is a low density of corals. They feed on both zooplankton and benthic invertebrates but the extent to which they feed on live coral has still to be determined. It is an oviparous species which forms monogamous pairs for spawning. It's collected for the aquarium trade but its collection is of a limited scale and is not believed to be a threat to the species population. Note: we have no FPs of the genus Heniochus. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 21:02, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

•  Comment This is a beautiful fish. Its size wasn't mentioned in the file description, but per w:Red Sea sailfin tang, "Zebrasoma desjardinii grows to a maximum length of 40 cm (16 in)," so this is not a small fish. The level of detail is good, but whether it should be sharper for FP is something I haven't decided on. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:56, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

• Sorry, Ikan Kekek, there was a copy & paste issue in the description. It's a Red Sea bannerfish (Heniochus intermedius) with a max length of 18 centimetres (7.1 in), not so big like the w:Red Sea sailfin tang. Poco a poco (talk) 06:21, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

• Thanks. That's quite different! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:28, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

•  Support With that being its size, I think this is an FP. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:29, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
