It's a poor choice for a captive butterfly. They are coralivores and their natural diet is almost impossible to duplicate. They hit close to 6 inches. There are much hardier and equally beautiful species to select from.

You will get more info searching for their scientific name, Chaetodon adiergastos.
But indeed, it unfortunately is one of the majority of Butterflyfish that should be left in the ocean, due to their diet of corals.

Try a C. auriga, auriga/threadfin butterfly. Cheap, similar looking, and a heckufa lot easier to keep.
