Try different things. Use things with garlic it's an appetite stimulant.

You could try your luck but you’ve chosen a corallivore species. If it’s smaller, a juvenile or younger adult you may stand a better chance.

For easier butterflies look to the Yellow Pyramid, Zoster, the Heniochus (except the brown ones), Pearl Scale, Klein’s, Auriga, Double Saddle, Tinker’s, Mitratus, Declivis, Lemon, Atlantic Long Snout, Burgess, Marquesan, Raccoon, maybe the Dot-Dash etc.

WetWebMedia and Scott W. Michael have really helpful info on angels and butterflies. I know a lot of butterflies are super pretty but unfortunately hard to get to eat prepared foods due to their corallivore diet.

You’d want to go for the more generalized omnivores / planktivores which include the species I’ve listed above.

Good luck regardless but don’t be surprised if you can’t get it eating. Sigh, if only LFS knew / cared.
