Husbandry

Espèce rare dans le commerce. Peu timide et pas très difficile en ce qui concerne l'alimentation. Il faut prendre en considération que ce poisson papillon mange les polypes des coraux. La coloration jaune et sa tache s'estompent au fur et à mesure qu'il grandit.

Readily available in North America. The fish can develop an attitude after being established for a long time. Recommend that it be one of the last butterflyfishes added to the aquarium. Will usually eat a wide variety of pod and meaty-with-vegetable preparations. Forgiving on water quality. As always with most butterflyfishes, it is best to put into quarantine in order to get it eating different foods, and to get it used to humans (as well as to be sure it is disease-free).

Western Pacific; 16 cm; very common
Seen in our area on occasion but hard to collect; common in southern seas and Hawaii; close to the entire yellow C.interruptus; sometimes refuses to eat anything
