Its confident swimming style and vibrant coloration make it a centerpiece that draws attention in any display.
Size: Can grow up to 10 inches in length
Country of Origin: Indo-Pacific, Great Barrier Reef, and Coral Sea

Harlequin Tuskfish are carnivores that feed on crustaceans, mollusks, and meaty marine foods. They are generally not reef safe, as they will prey on invertebrates, but they are usually peaceful toward other medium to large fish.
