Maintenance Tip
Diskripsi dan Ecology
Generally diurnal and frequenting the waters of less than 18 meters (although some species down to 180 meters), Butterflyfish stay somewhere in the range of time. The corallivores very territorial, mating pairs memencari and seize certain reef areas. Contrastingly, which eat zooplankton form large groups alike. At night Butterflyfish hide in the crevices of coral by showing a very different color.
The color of the fish also makes Butterflyfish popular aquarium fish. However, most species eat coral polyps and sea anemones. Balancing between prey and predator populations are relatively complex, so aquarists to focus more on zooplankton-eating fish.
Butterflyfish are pelagic layer, that is, they put a lot of eggs floating in the water which become part of the plankton, floating with the currents until they hatch.
Chaetodontidae
Butterflyfish looks like a smaller species of angelfish (Pomacanthidae), but unlike the preopercle that have thorns on the gill cover. Some members of the genus Heniochus resemble Moorish Idol fish (Zanclus cornutus) from Zanclidae monotypic. Among the paraphyletic 'Perciformes', is the kind that might not be too far with the family of Butterflyfish, while Zanclidae closer.
