Hogfish

Hogfish are a group of wrasse species known for their elongated bodies and protruding snouts, which they use to sift through the substrate for food. They are a popular choice for larger saltwater aquariums due to their striking colors and interesting behavior. Hogfish are generally peaceful but can become territorial as they mature. They require a diet rich in meaty foods and plenty of swimming space. It's important to note that some species can grow quite large, so they are best suited for tanks of at least 125 gallons. Hobbyists should also consider their compatibility with other tank inhabitants, as hogfish may prey on smaller fish and invertebrates.
