Description
The Orange Spotted Filefish or Harlequin Filefish has striking colors. It is turquoise with yellow to orange polka-dots throughout its body. The mouth is long and narrow.
The Orange Spotted Filefish is beautiful and peaceful and an amazing addition, however this is a very hard fish to keep due to its feeding habits. It will rarely accept food in the home aquarium and should be only attempted by experts who are familiar with this species.
The filefish will eat a variety of small meaty foods such as enriched brine shrimp and mysis shrimp; also include marine algae.
