Doublesaddle Butterflyfish, False Falcula Butterflyfish / Chaetodon ulietensis
SCIENTIFIC NAME: Chaetodon ulietensis
COMMON NAME: Doublesaddle Butterflyfish, False Falcula Butterflyfish
SIZE: 5.9†(15 cm)
MIN. AQUARIUM SIZE: 75 US Gal (284 L)
FOODS & FEEDING: Feeds on meaty and vegetable marine foods. Should be fed a minimum of 3 times per day.
REEF COMPATIBILITY: No. This species eats tubeworms, mushroom corals, anemones, and stony corals.
CAPTIVE CARE: The Doublesaddle Butterflyfish is initially shy and requires several places to hide in a relatively peaceful tank.
