Description
The Purple Tilefish is a beautiful, vibrant saltwater fish known for its unique purple hue and elongated body. This species is often found in the Atlantic Ocean and is highly sought after for its striking appearance and relatively peaceful demeanor.
Reef Safe
Yes, Purple Tilefish are considered reef safe. However, they may disturb the substrate and potentially dislodge poorly secured corals or other decorations.
Environment
Purple Tilefish prefer a well-lit tank with plenty of open swimming space. They also need plenty of hiding places to feel secure. The tank should have a tight-fitting lid to prevent them from jumping out.
Behavior
Purple Tilefish are generally peaceful and can be somewhat shy. They are known to burrow into the substrate and may require hiding places in the aquarium. They can be kept with other peaceful species but may act territorial towards other Tilefish.
