Just like their land dwelling namesake, Goatfish are known to scavenge the ocean floor for any kind of food they can find.

Goatfish are fish associated with reefs in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans.

• The Yellow Striped Goatfish can be easily identified by its yellow color and by the barbels on its chin.

• The Yellow Striped Goatfish has solid yellow color on its upper back and a yellow stripe from its eyes to its tail fin. Its median fins and pelvic fins are also yellow.

• The Yellow Striped Goatfish is found in schools during the day and like to feed alone at night.

• Goatfish use the pair of barbels that hang from their chin like a tongue. They can stir up the bottom and taste for food.

• Goatfish can change their color quickly as they swim across the ocean floor.

• Adult Goatfish like to gather in small schools in the same spot day after day for years.

• Adult Goatfish hunt together in packs for small fish.
