Orangespotted Filefish
$74.99
The Orangespotted Filefish (Cantherhines pullus) is a captivating addition to the aquarium, known for its incredible "chameleon-like" ability to change colors in seconds. While it masterfully blends into its surroundings, it can always be identified by the signature white saddle at the base of its tail. Typically growing between 2–4 inches (though they can reach 6+ inches), adults sport beautiful orange spotting against a brownish-olive body. In the wild, these fish are often seen hovering head-down near reefs, ducking into crevices or hiding among gorgonians. The orangespotted filefish has an omnivorous diet, consisting of seagrass, algae, and small crustaceans and other invertebrates.
