Common name: Butterflyfish

Chaetodon is a genus of marine fish under the family Chaetodontidae, commonly known as butterflyfish. These fish are known for their vibrant colors and intricate patterns. They are popular in the reefkeeping hobby due to their striking appearance. Butterflyfish are generally peaceful but can be territorial. They require a well-established aquarium with plenty of hiding places and live rock for grazing. Their diet should include a variety of foods such as algae, coral polyps, and small invertebrates. Some species may be specialized feeders, which can make them challenging to keep in a home aquarium.
