The Declivis Butterfly is known for their yellow vertical stripe running over its eye and a yellow-to-black hood covering their backside. This Declivis Butterfly specimen is endemic to Christmas Island. Any Butterfly has the potential to eat coral, and should be cautiously added to a reef tank. They should be kept with other peaceful species and be provided plenty of hiding spots. A UV sterlizer is heavily recommended as Butterflies are prone to parasitic infections.
