Neopercularis Hogfish (Bodianus neopercularis) is an extremely rare fish found exclusively in the Marshall Islands. The body is a vibrant red with solid white stripes that run horizontally from the nose to the caudal fin. They inhabit deepwater reefs and caves with other elusive fish, such as the Dr. Seuss fish (Belonoperca pylei). This fish adapts well to life in captivity and is very hardy, but is very hard to come by in the marine life trade. They eat a variety of crustaceans including crabs, mysis shrimp, and krill. They should be fed a well balanced diet of carnivorous preparations and occasional live food. Reaching a maximum size of 8 inches, they should be kept in a minimum of 120 gallon system with a tight lid to prevent jumping.
