It feeds on small crustaceans, zooplankton, and quality prepared foods. Best kept singly or in pairs, this butterflyfish brings dynamic movement and visual interest to mid-water zones. Ideal for aquarists with intermediate experience seeking a premium, visually distinctive reef fish. Known to eat aiptasia and mojano anemones.
