Scientific name : Grammistes sexlineatus
Family : Grammistidae (soap fish, 32 species)
Size : Up to 30 cm
Distribution : Indo-Pacific
Biology : Like other soapfish, the golden striped soapfish produces a toxic, slippery mucus on its skin to escape predators.
It is a very discreet fish, living in rocky interstices. It feeds on fish and shrimp, and its mouth is so extensible that its size is quite remarkable.
IUCN status : Least concern
