Curator's Note
Butterflyfish are not recommended for reefs as they may pick at or eat a wide variety of corals, fan worms, and other invertebrates. Most Butterflyfish may be known to pick at Aiptaisia, a parasitic anemone.
Other Common Names
Saddle Back Butterflyfish, Blackwedged Butterflyfish, True Falcula Butterflyfish
Description
The Falcula Butterflyfish, also known as the Saddle Back Butterflyfish, is a popular addition to more aggressive aquariums. One of the more durable Butterflyfish in the industry, it will actively compete for food against other tankmates.
Diet
The Saddleback Butterflyfish can occasionally be resistant to accepting a captive diet but can be enticed with a small anemone or rock of aiptaisia. Eventually it will learn to adjust to it’s new diet by following the example of it’s tankmates. Feed a varied diet of small meaty foods, as well as other commercially frozen preparations.
