Diana Hogfish

The Diana Hogfish (Bodianus diana) is a captivating and hardy species, making it an excellent addition to a marine aquarium. Here’s why you should consider adding one to your tank:

The Diana Hogfish boasts a striking red and white coloration with a distinctive black band running through its body, making it a standout addition to any tank. Its vibrant hues provide a unique contrast to other fish species.

Known for being hardy, the Diana Hogfish can adapt well to a variety of tank environments, making it suitable for intermediate to experienced aquarists.

While the Diana Hogfish is generally reef-safe, it may become territorial and aggressive toward smaller fish or invertebrates, especially if it’s not given enough space or hiding spots. It’s best kept with larger, peaceful species.

Diana Hogfish are active swimmers and are often seen darting through the water or grazing on the live rock. They provide plenty of entertainment as they actively forage and interact with their surroundings.

These fish help control populations of small invertebrates, like flatworms and bristle worms, by foraging on them, contributing to the health of your aquarium ecosystem.

Diana Hogfish are carnivores and will readily accept frozen, live, and prepared foods such as shrimp, mollusks, and marine pellets.

• Tank Size: Diana Hogfish require a minimum of 75 gallons due to their active swimming nature and territorial behavior.
• Space and Hiding Spots: Provide plenty of live rock and hiding places to give the fish a sense of security and minimize aggression.
• Water Quality: Stable water parameters and good filtration are essential for maintaining the health of this species.
