More about Twin spot hogfish

The Twin spot hogfish (Bodianus bimaculatus) is a marine fish notable for its distinctive coloration, featuring a reddish-pink body with two prominent black spots. Originating from the western Indian Ocean, this species exhibits a streamlined body shape typical of hogfish, with a pointed snout and a dorsal fin that spans the length of its back. Despite its vibrant appearance, the Twin spot hogfish is not particularly well-known or widespread in the aquarium hobby, partly due to its specific care requirements and habitat preferences.
