Common name: Tilefish

Hoplolatilus is a genus of marine fish known as tilefish, which are popular in the reefkeeping hobby for their vibrant colors and interesting behaviors. These fish are generally peaceful and can be kept with a variety of other reef-safe species. They are known for their burrowing habits, often creating elaborate systems of tunnels in the sand. Hoplolatilus species require a well-established aquarium with plenty of live rock for hiding and a sandy substrate for burrowing. They are omnivores, feeding on a mix of meaty foods and plant matter.
