The Blackspot Candycane Hogfish, Bodianus opercularis is a rare species of Hogfish that rarely comes around in the pet trade. It features a vibrant red and white striped body, and a distinct black spot on its gill plate or cheek. This fish certainly makes a statement with its appearance. This Hogfish should be kept in a tank with plenty of live rock hiding places, and devoid of small inverts and fishes which it will gladly eat at. Due to its territorial aggressiveness, if multiple Hogfish are desired they should be introduced into the tank at the same time and plenty of space should be provided so they each can find their own territory. They will eat an omnivorous diet of live or frozen meaty foods as well as live brine and mysis shrimp.
