The Auriga Butterflyfish is a striking and elegant species, instantly recognizable by its white body with diagonal yellow bands, a prominent black eye stripe, and a distinctive black spot near the dorsal fin. Graceful and active, it adds dynamic movement and vibrant color to large reef aquariums. Known for its inquisitive behavior, the Auriga Butterflyfish thrives in well-established tanks with plenty of live rock to explore.
Size: Typically grows up to 7 inches in length
Country of Origin: Indo-Pacific region, from the Red Sea and East Africa to the Hawaiian Islands and Samoa
Latin Name: Chaetodon auriga
Care Level: Moderate – requires a mature aquarium with stable water parameters, ample swimming space, and plenty of live rock for grazing
Auriga Butterflyfish are omnivores that feed on small invertebrates, coral polyps, and algae in the wild. In captivity, they should be offered a varied diet including high-quality frozen or prepared foods, mysis shrimp, and marine algae. They are not considered fully reef safe, as they may nip at corals and sessile invertebrates.
