Pervagor Melanocephalus
Pervagor melanocephalus is a Filefish from the Indo-West Pacific. It occasionally makes its way into the aquarium trade. It grows to a size of 16cm in length.Adult filefish are generally shallow water fish, inhabiting depths of no more than about 30 metres. They may be found in lagoons or associated with seaward reefs and seagrass beds; some species may also enter estuaries. Some species are closely associated with dense mats of sargassum, a particularly ubiquitous "sea weed"; these filefish, notably the planehead filefish (Stephanolepis hispidus) are also coloured and patterned to match their weedy environments.
