Description
"Harlequin Tuskfish" by Patti Deters. This Australian Harlequin Tuskfish (Choerodon fasciatus) lives in the western Pacific Ocean, from Japan to New Caledonia. It is also known as the Harlequin Tusk or the Lophotus guntheri. This particular fish was photographed in an aquarium where plenty of hiding places and warm water temperatures. These fish are bright and colorful, with shades of orange and blue and are carnivores, meaning they eats meat. The Tuskfish is not very common in aquariums.
