Large butterfly, striking coloursThe Copperband Butterflyfish is difficult to maintain in captivity, and so is recommended for the more experienced enthusiast. It can take a while to settle in to new surroundings and often the fish will not eat, resulting in deteriorating health. Feeding live brine shrimp the next day after arrival can tempt them into feeding. They can also be susceptible to lymphocystis which is a viral disease that will clear up over a few weeks by improving water conditions and providing a stress free environment. Suitability for Reef Aquariums The Copperband Butterflyfish is generally suitable for reef aquariums but will decimate populations of polychaete and fan worms and will eat glass anemones (Aiptasia spp.).

Feeding

In the wild this butterflyfish spends most of its day picking worms, crustaceans and sessile invertebrates from reef structures. In the aquarium their diet should consist of finely chopped meaty seafoods including shrimp, clam, mussel, frozen mysis and frozen brine shrimp. They are reluctant feeders and will need to be presented with live food to keep them sustained. Feed at least 3 times per day (young specimens will need more frequent feeding).
