Racoon Butterfly

[jasonrusso]

I wanted a bright colorful fish. For a long time I wanted a copperband butterfly, but all the horror stories turned me away.

I ended getting a racoon butterfly, and this guy is an amazing fish. He never once hid from anyone. He's not intimidated by the other bigger fish. He is just a cool, healthy, pretty fish.

I highly recommend one of these guys.

I love them... does it pick on coral or eat you CUC?

Beautiful fish! I'm also wondering about the coral picking.

Keep an eye on him if you have corals. These guys are not even considered reef safe-with caution.

Mine is in a FOWLR, so I sleep like a baby.

He's in a fowlr, so I can't say for sure about the corals. When he was in QT I put in some SPS clippings and he didn't touch them.

In my display, I have a porcupinefish, chainlink eel, and harlequin tusk. With all those, I still have some crabs and snails, so I would think he leaves them alone. Any bi-valve (mussel, clam, oyster) LOOK OUT!!!

Same!

I was headed down the same path. Looking for copperbands . Along the way I bought some others to cut my teeth . I figured I would gain some experience in the meantime . I so love the white collar pakaistani that I would rather have a grouping of those rather than copperbands
