Acreichthys tomentosus – Aiptasia Eating Filefish, also known as Matted Filefish, are a helpful species for home aquariums. They naturally feed on nuisance anemones such as Aiptasia, Majano anemones, and certain types of hydroids. They do not require Aiptasia to survive and will consume most aquarium foods. These filefish can change color rapidly and blend into their environment, making them visually interesting to watch in the tank.

Isaac Henderson –
The filefish and shrimp arrived quickly and are active in the tank. The filefish has started eating the anemones and looks vibrant. The shrimp are cleaning the glass and substrate. Great addition to my reef tank.
Karen Bond –
I was worried about introducing new species, but the filefish is calm and doesn’t stress the other fish. The shrimp are active and help with algae. Only a small amount of food is needed for both.
Victor Piper –
The pack includes exactly what was described. The filefish changed color when I moved it to a new area. The shrimp are very active and keep the tank clean. Highly recommend for any aquarium with anemones.
