The orange spot filefish is a very peaceful and docile filefish. They are a difficult
species to keep, but as long as they are provied with docile tankmates and a proper diet

environments. They are generally reef safe, but have been known to nip at corals. Due to its
level of difficulty, this species is excluded from ReefPlayground's live stock guarantee.
