Wild Caught Matted Filefish

Acreichthys tomentosus-Matted filefish are an incredibly helpful species of filefish. They can also be called the Aiptasia- eating filefish because of their propensity to eat the nuisance anemones commonly found in the aquarium trade like aiptasia, mojanos, and hydroids. These interesting little filefish have the ability to change coloration and blend in with their surroundings rapidly making them fun to watch roam around the tank.
