SCIENTIFIC NAME - Chaetodon Tricinctus
COMMON NAME - Threestripe Butterflyfish, Threeband Coralfish
SIZE - 5.9" (15 cm)
RANGE - Lord Howe, Norfolk Islands, New South Wales
MIN. AQUARIUM SIZE - 75 US Gal. (284 L)
FOODS AND FEEDING - Stony coral polyps
AQUARIUM SUITABILITY - 4
REEF COMPATIBILITY - No
CAPTIVE CARE - Due to the lack of dietary information, should be left on the reef. Keep only one per tank, provide live coral, adequate swimming room and hiding places. Once acclimated offer marine fare for carnivores. Since the dietary needs are not completely understood, a growth of filamentous algae, some macro algae, and an established reef with sessile invertebrated and benthic invertebrates should be provided. Keep at 68-76 F (20-24 C).
