Description

The Scribbled Filefish (Aluterus scriptus) is a unique and beautiful species, displaying intricate patterns of blue scribbles against a body of muted browns and whites. Peaceful in nature, this filefish is a fascinating addition to large, well-maintained aquariums with plenty of open swimming space.

Native to reefs in the Indo-Pacific, it adapts well to community tanks but requires careful consideration if housed in a reef setup, as it may nip at coral polyps or small invertebrates. The Scribbled Filefish is an omnivore, thriving on a varied diet of meaty foods and algae. With regular care, this striking fish will bring an intriguing charm to any large marine aquarium.
