The Butterflyfish has an oval-shaped body and is adorned with gorgeous orange to yellow hues that cover the majority the body. Black bands appear placed in a diagonal pattern while the fins have been highlighted in striking yellow.

It is best to keep it on its own and not in a group with other butterflyfish species or conspecifics and shouldn't be kept in a tank with stress-producing fish.

It is a sly and thoughtful eater that might require various foods available to feed. Feed it a variety of frozen and live food such as mysis shrimp brine shrimp with vitamin enrichment as well as frozen whole cockles, and seaweed-based meals.   Approximate Purchase Size: Small: 1-1/2" to 2-1/4"; Medium: 2-1/4" to 3-1/2"; Large: 3-1/2" to 4-1/2"
