Lachnolaimus maximus (Walbaum 1792), is THE Hogfish in the
tropical western Atlantic. A beauty when small (most offered in the
trade at 6-8 inches) but quickly grows BIG (to thirty-two inches in the
wild!). A shy giant that often comes in too beat to acclimate to
captivity. Below, an eight inch juvenile in captivity just out of its
mottled color phase, a two and a half foot individual in the Grand
Bahamas Channel.
