Aeoliscus strigatus, also known as the razorfish, jointed razorfish or coral shrimpfish, is a member of the family Centriscidae of the order Syngnathiformes. This unique fish adopts a head-down tail-up position as an adaptation for hiding among sea urchin spines.[3] The razorfish is found in coastal waters in the Indo-West Pacific.[4] Its natural habitat includes beds of sea grass and coral reefs, where sea urchins are found.[5]
