My Copper banded Butterfly fish, Bah, who I’ve had for 4 plus years literally eats all night long. When the other 11 fish are all resting, he’s hunting and pecking.

1. any other fish out there doing the same?

Maybe it is just a butterflyfish thing. I'll be up at like 2am during the weekend and see my Longfin Bannerfish cruising the tank. He does the same at 6am when I get up for work during the week. I'm not sure when he sleeps. Maybe that is why he eats so much! He is fat and happy though, hahaha.

I’m sure it has to do with pods feeling safe at all (late) hours. Lol

The dude just swims laps in my 240. He is not even picking at the rocks. I've never seen a more active fish. I want another butterfly but don't want to risk my coral, hahaha.
