What do Racoon Butterflyfish like to eat?

The Racoon Butterflyfish is considered a moderately hard fish to keep, but not impossible!


It likes to get part of its nutrition from feeding on the small life forms found on live rock. It is especially fond of small fan worms. They will also usually take smallish meaty foods such as frozen brine shrimp or blood worms and sometimes mysid shrimp. Keep in mind that they have very small mouths and will usually not attempt to eat the larger foods that are offered. Getting them to feed on a nutritionally balanced diet is often the most difficult part of being successful with this fish. Stubborn fish may accept live foods or opened clams. Mandarins.





I have had success feeding thawed frozen mysis shrimp and brine shrimp. They rarely will eat flake or pelleted foods. They will only thrive in a reef tank with live rock as well.What do Racoon Butterflyfish like to eat?
