Bristletail Filefish – Acreichthys tomentosus – Medium

The Bristletail Filefish (Acreichthys tomentosus) is collected in the Indo-west Pacific region of the Pacific Ocean. They inhabit seagrass beds in protected lagoons, blending with the grasses to avoid predators. They feed on algae and the tiny invertebrates found in and around the algae beds, but meaty or omnivore formula frozen foods will be a suitable diet. This fish is also known to eat the troublesome Aiptasia anemones (also known as Glass Anemones), but they have also been known to pick at and eat other polyps.
