The crescent-tail hogfish (Bodianus sepiacaudus), also known as the candy cane hogfish or Pacific redstriped hogfish,[2] is a species of wrasse native to the Pacific Ocean from Sulawesi to the Line Islands. It can be found in groups at depths from 20 to 75 m (66 to 246 ft). This species can reach 8.7 cm (3.4 in) in standard length.[3] Juveniles are white and black. Adults are white with four broad red stripes, suffused with black on caudal peduncle and caudal fin. It can be found in the aquarium trade.[1]
The crescent-tail hogfish differs from Bodianus masudai by having white pelvic fins.[4]
