The Falcula Butterflyfish or True Saddle Butterflyfish has a pale white body with three distinct black markings down its body, one across the eyes and two starting from the dorsal fins and diminishing in the interior. Thin vertical black lines run through the center body with yellow shading running along the dorsal fin to the posterior. The mouth protrudes outward and is designed for probing the smallest crevices.
The Falcula Butterflyfish perhaps not as hardy as the False Double Saddle is still a moderately durable fish. Provide a well-established system with other peaceful fish, plenty of live rock and sandy substrate. They will eat corals and pick at many small invertebrates including feather dusters and sea anemones.
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.
