Crimson Manybar Goatfish MAC Certified

The Crimson Manybar Goatfish (Parupeneus trifasciatus) is a vibrant, peaceful addition to medium to large saltwater aquariums. Native to the Indo-Pacific and Red Sea, this MAC-certified specimen features a striking pink body with distinctive yellow fins and grows to approximately 8 inches. This species thrives in stable reef conditions: 72–78°F, pH 8.1–8.4, and salinity 1.020–1.025. Its natural foraging behavior—sifting through sandbeds for food—makes it both engaging to observe and beneficial for substrate health. Feed a varied diet of high-quality marine flakes, pellets, and frozen foods like mysis or brine shrimp to maintain vibrant coloration and optimal health. The Crimson Goatfish coexists peacefully with non-aggressive tankmates, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced aquarists seeking color and activity without aggression.
