Origin[edit]

Tank compatibility[edit]
- Ideally best kept in a fish-only set up as this fish will nip at corals, anemones and invertebrates. Can be kept in a pair as long as both fish introduced at once, or kept singly. Otherwise generally peaceful with tankmates, but do not keep with very small fish.
Diet[edit]
- Will accept most meaty foods including shrimp.
Feeding regime[edit]
- Feed two or three times a day.
Environment specifics[edit]
- Provide this fish with as much open swimming space as possible as it can be quite active.
Identification[edit]
- A distinctive Butterflyfish which is the typical disc Butterflyfish shape. The flanks are a rich brown/black in colour with lighter coloured scales. Just before the eyes and in front of the gill plates there is a thick white vertical band, and two smaller white bands on the snout. The small caudal fin is vivid orange-red in colour which is edged with a black band.
