Notes: The Auriga Butterflyfish is one of the easier butterflyfish to keep and is a beautiful addition to the community aquarium. They do well in small schools and can be kept with other butterflyfishes. Make sure to provide several hiding places where it can retreat.
Not recommended for the reef aquarium because it will pick at a wide variety of soft and stony corals, zoanthids, anemones, and invertebrates.
Feed a variety of carnivore and herbivore preparations including mysid shrimp, brine shrimp, krill, marine fish, and marine algae.
