General Notes: As with most hogfish, best not to group with smaller creatures. Bodianus pulchellus and Bodianus rufus, the Cuban and Spanish Hogfishes respectively we’ll mention together. Both are good looking and medium aggressive. The Cuban Hogfish is sold for more money for its more brilliant coloring and smaller ultimate size. The Spanish Hog gets to about twice that and there are some interesting melange-colored individuals of this species to look for. Hogfishes function as cleaners as young and showcase specimens in captivity. Note: Due to variations among each species, livestock may not look identical to the image provided. Expect diversity since each animal is unique in color, texture and shape.
