    (Glasseye)
  • Description »   (Wikipedia) The glasseyes has been classified in a single species, Heteropriacanthus cruentatus, but recent morphological and genetic analysis indicates that glasseyes may be better divided into three species: Heteropriacanthus cruentatus (Atlantic Ocean and southwest Indian Ocean), H. fulgens (northeastern Atlantic), and H. carolinus (Indo-Pacific). H.cruentatus can differentiated from the rest of its genus by looking at its caudal and anal fin in which is distinct in colour.
