Yellowcrowned Butterflyfish / Chaetodon flavocoronatus
SCIENTIFIC NAME –Chaetodon flavocoronatus
COMMON NAME – Yellowcrowned Butterflyfish
SIZE – 4.9" (9 cm)
MIN. AQUARIUM SIZE – 55 US Gal. (208 L)
FOODS AND FEEDING – The diet of The Yellowcrowned Butterflyfish is unknown. In captivity, this species will readily accept most aquarium fare. Should be fed a minimum of 2 times per day in a reef tank, or 3 times per day in a fish only system.
REEF COMPATIBILITY – With caution.
CAPTIVE CARE – The Yellowcrowned Butterflyfish acclimates readily to captivity and can be kept in groups if all specimens are introduced at the same time. An established reef will help with acclimation, but this species may decimate tube worms. This fish is very timid until acclimated to captivity, preferring an environment with plenty of places to hide and temperatures in the range of 72-82 F (22-28 C).
