Pinnatus are darkish brown with bright orange pin striping outlining its entire body. They have a narrow vertical band behind the eye and a wider band behind the pectoral fin, both of which become periodically translucent. It is said that in the wild they can reach a length of three feet.
The distribution of the Pinnatus extends to the Tropical Western Pacific, Red Sea, and Indian Ocean.
Characteristics
Platax pinnatus is surely the showpiece in any aquarium it inhabits. However, they are an extremely difficult fish to keep and should only be kept by experts. One of the major factors involved is that they are very poor shipper. In fact, its one of those fish that comes with no guarantee from the supplier, and with good reason. Getting them to eat is the major stumbling block for new arrivals. Due to their timidness, care must be taken to see that they get their share of food amongst tank mates. They are a great community fish, but must be kept away from any nippers such as Angels due to their lengthy fins.
Diet
Pinnatus relish chopped shrimp and crab meat. Squid, frozen blood worms, live brine shrimp, and frozen brine shrimp are also accepted.
