Hawaiian hogfish Profile

The Hawaiian hogfish (Bodianus bilunulatus) is a vibrantly colored fish predominantly found in the central Pacific Ocean, especially around Hawaii. It exhibits a striking combination of red and white hues with a distinct black spot near its tail. This species is recognizable by its elongated body and the pronounced snout typical of hogfish. It is not particularly well-known in the aquarium hobby, primarily due to its size and the specific care requirements that it demands.
