The Narrow-Banded Sergeant-Major is a black fish, but it has white stripes. It stays in the stones in the lagoons. When it is high tide, it stays near the beach. It eats little crabs, snakes and other kinds of things that it can eat, and the rubbish that floats everywhere in the sea. This fish is good, it is eaten by the people.
