Sargocentron tiere is a species of squirrelfish in the genus Sargocentron, native to the Indo-Pacific. It inhabits coral reef and rocky coastal environments, where it typically shelters in crevices during the day. Like other squirrelfishes, it is primarily nocturnal, emerging at night to feed on small crustaceans and other invertebrates.
