The Acreichthys genus includes the popular filefish, known for their laterally compressed bodies and distinct patterns. Distributed in the Indo-Pacific, they inhabit coral reefs and are often found in association with branching corals. In aquariums, filefish contribute to pest control by consuming unwanted organisms like aptasia. However, maintaining stable water conditions, offering a diverse diet, and providing ample hiding spaces are crucial for their well-being in captivity.
