goatfish
Goatfish are a type of marine fish characterized by their long, whisker-like barbels that hang from the chin, which they use for foraging on the sea floor. Named for their resemblance to the beard of a goat, these fish are part of the family Mullidae. They come in a variety of colors and sizes and are found in tropical and temperate waters around the world. Goatfish are primarily bottom-feeders, consuming a diet of small invertebrates, worms, and other benthic organisms.

Goatfish
Goatfishes are tropical marine perciform fish of the family Mullidae. Seldom found in brackish waters, they are most associated with the reefs of the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans. The goatfishes are sometimes called 'red mullets' as opposed to the Mugilidae, the grey mullets, though that name is usually reserved for the red mullets of the genus Mullus of the Mediterranean. Within the family are approximately six genera and 55 species.
