Description
The Rhino Leatherjacket Filefish is a fascinating species known for its unique, elongated shape and horn-like protrusion on its head, giving it the name “Rhino.” This filefish displays a soft blend of cream, blue, and yellow colors that shimmer under aquarium lighting. Generally peaceful, the Rhino Leatherjacket Filefish can adapt well in a community tank, though it may occasionally nip at soft corals and invertebrates. Its omnivorous diet requires a variety of foods, including marine algae and small meaty items. This species adds an exotic touch to larger aquariums and is best suited for experienced aquarists who can maintain stable water conditions.
