Ctenochaetus truncatus is a surgeonfish specialized in grazing on algae and biofilms found on live rocks and substrate. It is appreciated for its calm temperament, high adaptability, and efficiency in well-balanced reef aquariums.
Thanks to its brush-shaped mouth, Ctenochaetus truncatus continuously cleans hard surfaces, helping to limit the accumulation of debris, microalgae, and biofilms. It perfectly integrates into a natural cleaning crew without harming corals or other invertebrates.
This surgeonfish is active, peaceful, and not very territorial, making it a good companion for most marine species. However, it is recommended to introduce it into an aquarium of at least 300 liters, with sufficient swimming space and a rocky decor rich in natural algae.
Ctenochaetus truncatus primarily feeds on elements present in the tank but will benefit from regular vegetable supplements to maintain its vitality.
Ctenochaetus truncatus is a discreet but essential surgeonfish for any reef enthusiast looking to combine aesthetics, peaceful behavior, and natural tank maintenance. It represents an excellent choice to complement a reef population without creating territorial imbalance.
