Girella zebra

Girella zebra, also known as zebrafish or stripey bream, is a species of marine ray-finned fish, a sea chub in the family Kyphosidae.

Girella zebra has a moderately short and deep, compressed, oval body with a relatively thin caudal peduncle.

[1] Girella zebra is found in the Indian and western Pacific Ocean; it is endemic to southern Australia.

[3] Girella zebra is normally found around rocky reefs in shallow coastal waters from 0–20 metres (0–66 ft) in depth.

[4] The flattened teeth and long narrow gill rakers are used to feed on small prey.

Pholeohedra overstreeti was identified and described by dissecting the intestines of the Girella zebra, showing a parasitic relationship.

[11] G. zebra belong to the family Kyphosidae, which consists of a group of marine organisms called sea chubs.
