Filefish (Leatherjacket): The Master of Disguise 🐟🟤 Meet the Filefish — the quirky marine oddball that blends into rockwork like a pro. Their camouflage and single “horn-spine” make them stand out in any saltwater tank. These guys are curious, interactive, and full of attitude. They glide rather than swim, picking at rocks and investigating everything with that tiny pointed mouth.
