Thanks for the website it was very helpful. Heniochous Butterfly, I was worried that the butterfly species would be hard to take care of. But the site said they were very adaptable. So we will see.

that is an easy fish to care for although not compatible with a mini-reef. It somewhat looks like a moorish-idol. It should be fed mysis shrimp, brine shrimp and other small meaty type foods.

mysis, enriched brine (vitamin or spirulina), nori sheets, chopped mussles/clams, sponge, plankton.

San Fransisco Bay makes a great angel/butterfly mix formula. perfect for these guys
