Copperband Butterflyfish

Around Ohio

Copperband Butterflyfish

This fish is also called a beaked coralfish. It does have a very interesting mouth. It uses its long, narrow nose and mouth to hunt for food in crevices and holes. This beautiful ocean butterfly is generally peaceful but may pick on other fish if it is kept in a small tank, according to liveaquaria.com. If you are thinking of adding this fish to your tank, it will set you back a mere $199.99.

The yellow fish goes nicely with the purple coral on the right!
