A small marine fish with bright reddish or orange coloring that resembles flames, found in tropical and subtropical waters.
Compound word formed from 'flame' and 'fish,' named for the bright flame-like coloration of the fish. Common in aquarium terminology.
Flamefish are also called firefish, and some species can literally breathe fire—they mix oxygen with hydrogen sulfide bacteria in special chambers, making them one of nature's few fire-breathing animals.
