Description
Scrawled filefish (Aluterus scriptus) is a multi-colored, strange-looking tropical fish species with circumtropical distribution. Its interesting appearance and slow-moving nature make it popular among sight-seeing divers, and desirable for marine aquariums both public and private. Considered a game fish in some locations, caution should be taken because of the possibility of ciguatera poisoning.
