Razor fish refer to any of a number of small wrasses of the West Indies and the Mediterranean, which have compressed sharp-edged heads. Wrasses are fish that are mainly fall under the tropical marine category. They generally have bright colors with extremely powerful teeth and fleshy lips.
They get their name due to the shape of their heads, which are squarish, with a razor-sharp edge on their foreheads and the fact that they bite. Their canines are enlarged, and they live in burrows in the sand. These burrows can extend up to three feet in depth. There are many types of razor fish. A longspine razor fish, for example, has a slender body with plate-like armor. A shellfish which resembles a large muscle and has a very sharp edge has also been called a razor fish or razor clam.
