Description: The High Hat is a white, silvery fish with black horizontal stripes running along its body and a high dorsal spine. The High Hat originates from the Caribbean and the Atlantic. This fish should be housed in a larger fish-only aquarium as they will eat smaller crustaceans and fish in a reef tank. This fish is pretty hardy and would be a great addition to semi-aggressive tanks, and be sure to feed a variety meaty foods.
