Raccoon Butterflyfish

Chaetodon lunula

The Raccoon Butterflyfish gets its name from the bold black mask around its eyes on a yellow-orange body. It is one of the more hardy butterflyfish, readily accepting a wide range of frozen meaty foods, but it is not reef-safe as it will pick at coral polyps, tubeworms, and other invertebrates. Best suited to a FOWLR aquarium of at least 100 gallons.
