About Dusky Spinefoot
The dusky spinefoot is a species of rabbitfish. It is native to the western Indian Ocean, as well as the Red Sea and Persian Gulf. It has spread to the Mediterranean Sea because of the Suez Canal. It is often found in small schools feeding on benthic algae in shallow water with compacted sand substrates.
