Coral Butterflyfish
Chaetodon Plebius
The Coral Butterfly or Bluespot is a stunning fish, hard to keep but truly stunning in adult coloration. The problems arise with this fish in getting them to feed they feed on acropora in the wild, but should be fed, live brine shrimp, clams or mashed shrimp on a dead acropora. They can be kept in groups if introduced simultaneously.
It requires a tank of 200 litres or more with plenty of rock work to hide in wheh startled. The Bluespot isnt reef compatible. The Bluespot is a fussy eater so it should be fed a varied diet until you find something that it will readily eat
Approximate Purchase Size: Medium 4cm - 6cm
