These fish make awesome additions to any Fish Only tank or SPS reef. Listed as reef safe with caution, these fish may pick at LPS corals, but should leave SPS and soft corals alone.

Though looking like a butterflyfish, these are actually a species of chub. Known for the voracious feeding habits, these fish will take to almost any type of prepared foods and do not take much enticing to feed. They are an incredibly active fish, so a tank of 4ft in length is minimum. These fish are incredibly peaceful and typically do not bother other fish. They are also proving to be incredibly disease resistant and are overall a very hardy fish, so they make great choices for beginners!
