Flashing tilefish… what would you want to know?

[i cant think]

skunk tilefish is on my dream list
flashing are cool too but something about the white with the single stripe is so cool to me

Honestly, the Marcosi was on my list for a while and then I finally found one from an import, it looked gorgeous and still looks stunning. He has an iridescence on him so he goes blue under some light and also has red/orange under others

We kept a flashing tilefish successfully for 7 months. He then got some kind of intestinal parasite (we think) and suddenly got super thin despite eating tons, and died.

After they’re comfortable they don’t flash much- he would if he was really excited about the food, but otherwise they mostly flash when stressed.

Sorry to hear that, what size tank?

Thanks- we were bummed to lose him, but he was already at the LFS so thought we’d give it a try. We have a 650L

Honestly, I disagree with them not flashing much. I’ve had several that displayed even when healthy and unstressed yet not during feeding.
