Soapfish White Spotted ATL

About this fish

Soapfish White Spotted ATL is a predatory reef fish for the home saltwater aquarium, offered under the shop name “Soapfish White Spotted ATL.” In a typical setup, it’s best used as a display predator in a fish-only system where its feeding instincts and size can be managed safely with appropriate tankmates. Like many soapfish and their relatives, it’s valued for its bold, active behavior and strong predatory response when feeding.

Features:

• Predatory temperament: it will eat smaller fish and any crustaceans small enough to swallow
• Best suited to a large fish-only tank, since it can grow large and needs space to move
• Provide plenty of rock for hiding and retreat so the fish can settle comfortably
• Feed meaty foods several times a week (for example frozen silversides, squid, and shrimp) to support a protein-rich diet
• Choose only large, robust tankmates to reduce the risk of it picking off smaller animals
• On arrival, acclimate slowly and give it a quiet spot to settle before expecting normal feeding
