Description
The Four Eyed Butterflyfish has a white body with thin slanted dark lines on the upper portion divided by more horizontal lines on the bottom portion. There is a large black spot slightly above the caudal fin area with a black band over the eyes and yellow accents on the pectoral fins.
The Four Eyed Butterflyfish is an exquisite fish and extra care must be taken for its care. Spend extra time during acclimation and use live brine shrimp to initiate feeding if possible. Keep singly or a male and female can be housed together if added simultaneously. Have lots of good swimming area and live rock for grazing and hiding. Will nip at coral and invertebrates and is not recommended for a reef tank.
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.
