More about Cuban hogfish

The Cuban hogfish (Bodianus pulchellus) features a striking combination of colors, primarily yellow, pink, and black. It originates from the western Atlantic Ocean, specifically around Cuba and the Caribbean. This species showcases a distinct appearance, characterized by a sleek, elongated body and a pointed snout. In the aquarium hobby, the Cuban hogfish is not as commonly known or kept as some other marine species, partially due to its specific care requirements and larger size compared to typical aquarium fish.
