Overview
The Latticed Butterflyfish, also known as the Raffle's Butterflyfish, is yellow with dark scale margins giving a lattice-like appearance. It has a black eye band and a blue patch between the eyes; the tail has a black vertical stripe.
It requires a 120 gallon or larger aquarium that has numerous hiding places and peaceful community members. This is not a reef safe Buterflyfish. In the wild, it will prey on hard and soft corals, zoanthids, and/or anemones. If the fish is asleep or stressed, it will get a dark spot on the front of the body.
The Latticed Butterflyfish will feed on chopped sea foods.
