Hi Bro

Lyretail hogfishes can attain a length of 8" in a large tank. Hogfishes, in general, have voracious appetites. As they get bigger, they will develop a taste for clams & crustaceans. This particular specie needs rugged tankmates, for example, yellow tang, trigger fish, puffer fish, etc. My brother's marine tank once kept a medium-size hogfish (can't remember the specie) that was caught with a blue-green chromis in its mouth. So, please take note before getting one.
