Raccoon Butterflyfish

The Raccoon Butterflyfish is yellow-orange, however, it is darker in the upper portion of its body. It has a black spot in the area of its eyes, as well as a wide white stripe running in the posterior. The two black lines bordered by yellow stretch from the white stripe all the way to its dorsal fin. This Raccoon Butterflyfish is a peaceful fish that can be found in larger tanks of 125 gallons or more aquariums, for fish only, along together with other butterflyfish. It shouldn't be kept in a tank for reefs as it eats invertebrates and is considered unsafe for corals.   At first, if it doesn't eat the food, it could be enticed by a tiny anemone. Once it is acclimated, it can be fed a diverse diet consisting of meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, crustacean flesh, and frozen meals throughout the day.   Approximate Purchase Size: Small: 1-1/2" to 2-1/4"; Medium: 2-1/4" to 3 "; Medium/Large: 3" to 4"; Large: 4" to 5"; X large 5" to 6"
