General Information | |
Common Name | Orange Face Parrot |
Family | Scaridae |
Latin Name | Cetoscarus Bicolor |
The Spanish Hogfish has a patch of blue highlight on the golden-yellow body across the back with violet scale margins.
It is a beneficial fish for a 150 Litre or larger reef tank as a youth, cleaning parasites off of its tank mates. With maturity, however, it will need to be in a 400 litre or larger fish-only tank, or the reef will become its buffet. It is aggressive towards smaller, docile fish that are easily bullied.
The mature adult Spanish Hogfish will eat snails, worms, mussels, small fish, shrimp, and squid.
