Ctenochaetus truncatus – Discreet and Efficient Grazer Surgeonfish

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.

A Useful Fish for the Decor

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.

Behavior and Compatibility

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.

Maintenance Conditions

  • Minimum recommended volume: 300 liters
  • Temperature: 24°C to 27°C
  • pH: 8.0 to 8.4
  • Behavior: calm, grazer, non-aggressive
  • Compatibility: ideal for community reef tanks

Feeding

  • Natural algae (nori, spirulina)
  • Vegetarian marine pellets
  • Biofilm, microalgae, and decor debris

Ctenochaetus truncatus primarily feeds on elements present in the tank but will benefit from regular vegetable supplements to maintain its vitality.

Why Choose Ctenochaetus truncatus?

  • Very useful grazer fish for natural maintenance
  • Calm temperament and easy to maintain
  • Compatible with corals and invertebrates
  • Ideal for large reef tanks
  • Contributes to the tank's biological balance

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.
