Teira Batfish (Platax teira) | Digital Marine Atlas

The Sailing Silhouette of the Reef

The Teira Batfish (Platax teira), also known as the Longfin Batfish, is a majestic species instantly recognizable by its exceptionally long dorsal and anal fins, giving it a tall, sail-like appearance. Native to the Indo-Pacific and Red Sea, this fish is a graceful giant that commands attention in any large aquarium.

Despite its impressive size (reaching up to 50 cm), the Teira Batfish is a gentle and peaceful omnivore. It thrives in spacious environments where it can glide freely, feeding on algae and small invertebrates. Its calm demeanor makes it a favorite among keepers of large marine systems.
