Genus
Common name: Blue Devilfish
Scientific name: Paraplesiops
The genus Paraplesiops, commonly known as Blue Devilfish, comprises species that are native to the coastal waters of southern Australia. These fish are known for their striking blue coloration and reclusive nature, often hiding among rocks and crevices. They are a fascinating addition to a reef aquarium, but their shy demeanor requires a well-structured environment with plenty of hiding places. They are carnivorous, feeding on small fish and crustaceans, and can grow to a size that requires a moderately sized aquarium.
