The Burgess' Butterflyfish is delightful compact butterflyfish. It has an interesting wedge form with three thick black bands running down diagonally down its white body and face.
The Burgess' Butterfly is a hardy butterflyfish that will quickly adapt to an aquarium and will readily accept food. Provide a well-established system with peaceful fish, plenty of live rock and sandy substrate. They will eat corals and pick at many small invertebrates including feather dusters and sea anemones.
To initiate feeding, offer a variety of small frozen foods such as mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp and cyclopeeze. Train your butterflyfish to eat Formula One Small Pellets or Flakes for a healthy diet.
