Goatfish are unique bottom feeders.  Goatfish have long feelers also known as barbels, at the base of their mouths which they use to spend their time rummaging through crushed coral or sand for anything edible.  Goatfish are often seen successfully hunting in groups, while other fish are on standby for the the opportunity to scavenge anything left behind.  These bottom dwelling fish will require a meaty seafood diet as well as flake food and pellets.
