Description: The Racoon Butterfly is known for their black mask and stripes on a yellow body, resembling that of a racoon. This fish heralds from the Indo-Pacific. Any Butterfly will eat coral, and should not be added to a reef tank. They should be kept with other peaceful species and be provided plenty of rock work for hiding spots. This fish is especially prone to disease, so a UV Sterilizer and Protein Skimmer is a MUST. Feeding vitamin C on pellets everyday can help with disease prevention.
