Description

Chaetodon burgessi, commonly known as Burgess' butterflyfish, is a small butterflyfish. Their base colour is white with three large black areas. One over the eye, one just behind the head and the back part from the front of the dorsal fin to the back of the anal fin. The caudal fin is clear though. The white part can have a varied degree of yellowish in it, as do the fins. They also have grey spots on the white parts, which are more or less pronounced depending on the individual.

These fish are quite peaceful to most other fish, but might haress similar looking fish. They can be found solitary or in pairs and come from the deeper drop-offs where gorgonians and black corals are abundant. In an aquarium they can best be kept alone unless a proven pair can be found. They're real omnivores feeding on all sort of worms and crustaceans, but they're also facultative corallivores, meaning they do eat but don't need corals. Although one of the most reef safe butterflyfish, this still makes them a risk in a reef tanks though! So either keep them in a fish-only tank or accept the damage they can do to corals. Feed them a varied diet of live and frozen meaty foods, but make sure to also include algae based foods like pellets and flakes, to make them really happy!
