Ocellate Butterflyfish

This species is very attractive and not commonly found in the trade. It has a silvery body with five yellowish-brown, tan-edged vertical bands and a false eye spot on the upper rear of the body. This species adapts easily to already established, larger, peaceful fish-only community aquariums, especially those with ample open swimming areas. It is considered reef safe with caution, and will probably attack small shrimp or clams.
