Care Notes:
The Addis Butterfly is a vibrant butterflyfish with a bright yellow body marked by subtle lines and a distinctive blue spot over the eye. It thrives in fish-only with rock tanks that provide plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding spots. Its diet includes meaty foods such as mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and finely chopped seafood. Not reef safe, as it may nip at corals and sessile invertebrates. Suitable for intermediate aquarists experienced with butterflyfish care.
