Description
The Eyebrow Tuskfish is a vibrant marine fish characterized by its green-blue head, a broad orange band across its body, and a white belly. It possesses strong, tusk-like teeth used for crushing hard-shelled prey. This active and visually stunning species is a popular, yet demanding, addition to large reef aquariums.
