Description

The Orange Nose Butterfly (Chaetodon lunula), also known as the Black Butterflyfish, is a stunning species characterized by its vibrant yellow body and distinctive black markings, including an orange spot on its snout. Growing up to 6 inches, this semi-aggressive fish thrives in a well-established aquarium with plenty of hiding spots. While generally peaceful, it may exhibit territorial behavior towards similar-sized fish. As an omnivore, the Orange Nose Butterfly requires a varied diet that includes high-quality flakes, frozen foods, and occasional meaty treats. Although it can coexist in a reef aquarium, caution should be taken with smaller corals and invertebrates, as it may nip at their tissues. Its striking appearance and engaging behavior make it a popular choice among marine aquarists.
