Saurida undosquamis also known as the Brushtooth lizardfish is a type of lizardfish, a demersal species that lives mainly in the shallow waters of the Red Sea region. It has also invaded the Mediterranean, being an example of a Lessepsian migrant, i.e., a species that has used the Suez Canal as dispersal route.
