Filefish (also known as Foolfish, Leatherjackets or Shingles) belong to the family Monacanthidae. Found in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, the filefish family contains approximately 107 species in 26 genera. Filefish are closely related to the Triggerfish, Pufferfish and Boxfish.
Their laterally compressed bodies and rough, sandpapery skin inspired the Filefish's common name; it is said that dried Filefish skin was once used to finish wooden boats.
