The crescent-tail hogfish, Bodianus sepiacaudus, is a species of wrasse native to the Pacific ocean from Sulawesi to Line Islands. It can be found in groups at depths from 20 to 75 m (66 to 246 ft). This species can reach 8.7 cm (3.4 in) in standard length.[2] Juveniles are white and black. Adults are white with 4 broad red stripes, suffused with black on caudal peduncle and caudal fin.

The crescent-tail hogfish differs from Bodianus masudai by having white pelvic fins[3].
