Chaetodon blackburnii

Chaetodon blackburnii, commonly known as Blackburn's butterflyfish, is a small butterflyfish. Their body has a beige to yellow base colour but the back 2/3th is covered in a smokey grey/brown colour. You can faintly see some stripes running from the eye towards the back through it though. Pectoral fins are usually yellow and they've a black vertical stripe through the eye.

These fish are quite peaceful to most other fish, but might haress similar looking fish. They inhabit outer reefs with more modorate coral growth. In an aquarium they can best be kept alone unless a proven pair can be bought. They're real omnivores feeding on all sort of worms and crustaceans, but they're also facultative corallivores, meaning they do eat, but don't need corals. This makes them a risk in a reef tanks though, but a perfect pick for a fish-only tank! Feed them a varied diet of live and frozen meaty foods, but make sure to also include algae based foods like pellets and flakes, to make them really happy!
