Genus
Common name: Aiptasia Eating Filefish
Scientific name: Acreichthys
Acreichthys is a genus of fish in the family Monacanthidae, commonly known as the Aiptasia Eating Filefish or Bristletail Filefish. These fish are celebrated in the reefkeeping community for their natural predation on Aiptasia, a type of pest anemone. They are generally peaceful and can be a good fit for community tanks. Their cryptic coloration and ability to blend in with their surroundings make them both fascinating and beneficial aquarium inhabitants.
