Acreichthys tomentosus - a saltwater fish for aquariums from 300 liters
With its calm nature and maximum size of 12 cm, the bristle-tail filefish is a perfect candidate for saltwater aquariums of 300 liters and more. It mostly stays close to the reef structure and is peaceful towards other tank inhabitants. The bristle-tail filefish can change its body color depending on its mood and environment - very interesting to observe!
Filefish vs. aiptasia and manjano
Acreichthys tomentosus is a good choice for controlling an aiptasia or manjano infestation in your aquarium. Keep in mind, however, that bristle-tail filefish are not 100% reef-safe. This means that there are occasionally individuals that can nibble on certain LPS species such as Acanthastrea, encrusting anemones, or xenia.
