The PEARLY SOLDIERFISH (called ‘u‘u) is a red to pinkish
solderfish, often seen with a pearlescent sheen, hence the name. The leading edges of its fins are white, and
its shoulder bar is slightly longer than its cousin, the bigscale soldierfish. When the dorsal fins are raised, yellow is
noted. Unlike most soldierfish, these
are typically found hiding in reefs rather than caves or below overhangs. They normally congregate in rows of two or
three and can be seen most commonly between 15 and 50 feet.
