Genus
Common name: Chelmon
Scientific name: Coradion
The genus Coradion includes a small group of butterflyfish found in the Indo-Pacific region. They are known for their striking coloration and patterns, which make them popular among aquarists. These fish typically require a well-established reef tank with plenty of hiding places and a varied diet that includes both meaty foods and vegetable matter. They can be sensitive to water quality, so regular maintenance is crucial. Some species within this genus are known to be more challenging to keep due to their specialized dietary needs, often requiring live coral polyps or specific invertebrates.
