Green Filefish aka BristleTail Filefish (Acreichthys tomentosus)

This somewhat shy and gentle fish can be a valuable asset to aquariums plagued by dense populations of Aiptasia anemones. While there are occasional instances of this species nibbling on corals and tiny invertebrates, it is generally considered a highly efficient natural solution for the removal of specific nuisance anemones.

Adapting some filefish to a new diet in captivity can be challenging. They are generally inclined to eat smaller, meaty fare such as plankton, clams, brine shrimp, and mysis shrimp,
