Two spot hogfish? - Reef-Geeks

Sneezy · Big-Geek

Are these reef safe? I can get one at a really good price so I am thinking of adding one to my tank.

No idea...I found a batfish for around $20 I am debating putting it in my 75gal knowing it will get huge.

I would not suggest them for a reef tank. They can/will eat inverts and can/will nip clams.

Hogfish are certainly not the safest reef fish. I'd pass.

I've had 3 of them with no problems at all.

That is what I thought too, but I do see that it eats clam

Pieces, not picking on them.

the twin spotted hogfish should be fine in your tank......and looks like you have plenty of hiding spaces for it too
