Description: This is a rare tilefish species that is relatively new to the aquarium hobby. This fish is beautifully elegant, characterized by its iridescent blue-purple color and orange pattern. This fish would do best in a larger reef tank that has a peaceful community. A lid is a must as this fish can easily jump out of the tank. The Oreni Tilefish will appreciate an available sandbed and ample rockwork. This fish originates from the west coast of Africa, dwelling amongst shallow coral reefs.
