Description

The copperband butterflyfish (Chelmon rostratus) can be found primarily around the Indian and western Pacific Oceans. It lives amongst corals and in brackish estuaries, eating worms and other small invertebrates, plus the occasional anemone. They are popular with aquarium keepers who need parasitic worms cleaned up, but copperband butterflyfish require special care to raise right.
