Common name: Tilefish

Malacanthidae, commonly known as tilefish, are a family of marine fish found in sandy areas of tropical and subtropical oceans. They are known for their bright colors and elongated bodies, with some species capable of burrowing into the substrate to create shelters. Tilefish are generally peaceful and can be kept in larger aquariums with plenty of open sand and rockwork for hiding. They feed on a variety of foods including small invertebrates and zooplankton. Due to their size and burrowing behavior, they require a stable and well-structured environment.
