Scientific Name: Bodianus diana
Common Names: Diana’s Hogfish (Spotted Hogfish)
Care Level: Relatively Easy
Adult Size: 9.8 in
pH Range: 8.1 – 8.3
Temperature Range: (F/C) 77-79F/25-26C
Specific Gravity/Hardness Range: 1.023-1.026
Origin/Habitat: Indo-West-Pacific
Temperament/Behaviour: Aggressive
Compatible Tank mates: Blennies, Gobies, Surgeonfishes, Angels
Diet: Meaty foods, including fresh or frozen seafoods, frozen or live brine shrimp, mysis shrimp, live black worms, flake food, live grass shrimp.
Tank Size For Adult: 55gal (208l)
Narrative: Not recommended for Reef Aquariums. Will not bother corals but will eat a wide range of motile invertebrates. A hardy and greedy feeder, this is a solitary fish in nature and is one of the least sociable members of the genus, often behaving aggressively toward newly introduced fishes or more-docile tankmates. Adults may even nip persistently at juvenile morays. Will eat any smaller fish that can be ingested whole. Juveniles can be housed in a shallow- or deep-water reef aquarium, but they will begin to prey upon small bivalves, clams, worms and crustaceans as they grow.
