This fish is a well-known and familiar Indo-Pacific species, the Gulf of Eilat is considered to be its distribution area.
As of today, you can watch the fish in the area of the sea grass mats in the bay of the southern city.
These fish tend to coalesce into a dense ball, and their movement in the water is impressive in its beauty.
Since the fish knows how to fight back in a rather painful way, this (besides its "mustache") gave it the nickname "Nasrallah", after Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah. The Nature and Parks Authority stated that the fish is not dangerous for bathers when it is in its natural environment.
There are similarities?
