Description
The Citron Butterflyfish or Speckled Butterflyfish has a light yellow body with generous small blue and gold specs. A black vertical band runs down the eyes.
The Citron Butterflyfish requires extra attention due to its feeding habits which are coral and other small organisms in the wild. House in a well-established system with peaceful fish, plenty of live rock and sandy substrate.
To initiate feeding, offer a variety of small frozen foods such as mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp and cyclopeeze. Train your butterflyfish to eat Formula One Small Pellets or Flakes for a healthy diet.
