Tinker's Butterflyfish

The Tinker's Butterflyfish is an attractive fish with its anterior half being white with black dots on each scale and the posterior part of the body black. Shades of yellow and orange mark the face, dorsal fin, and tail.

These fishes are normally found in deeper water on fore reef slopes, and feed primarily on plankton and small invertebrates.

They are not recommended for the reef aquarium as they may pick LPS coral polyps, however if fed well on a varied diet they can be kept in a reef aquarium. 

The diet should consist of different chopped meaty items, enriched mysis shrimp and enriched brine shrimp along with algae.
