Scissortail sergeant is number one observed fish in Queensland

The Scissortail sergeant or stripe-tailed damselfish (Abudefduf sexfasciatus) named by Bernard-Germain-Étienne de La Ville-sur-Illon, comte de Lacépède (or Lacepede) in 1801 is a large damselfish. It earns its name from the black-striped tail and sides, which are reminiscent of the insignia of a military Sergeant, being similar to those of the sergeant major damselfish. It grows to a length of about 15-19 centimetres. Can be territorial to other fishes

The second most observed fish species is the Sixband parrotfish and the third most observed is the Common coral trout on iNaturalist Fishes of Queensland group
