General Notes: Parupeneus cyclostomus (Lacepede 1801), the Goldsaddle Goatfish. The `beard` of the goatfish serves as `feelers` to probe the sand for worms and other hidden detritus eating life in the sandbed. Not recommended for reef systems that use the deep sandbed method. Great for bare bottom or fish only systems.
