    New Raccoon Butterflyfish

    I got a new Raccoon Butterflyfish the other day as i'v notice some aiptasia starting to grow in my tank.

    It is yellow-orange in colour, but darker on the upper half of its body. It has a black patch around its eyes, with a broad white stripe posterior to it. Two black stripes bordered in yellow reach from the white stripe to the dorsal fin.

    It is a peaceful fish but i will have to keep a eye on it as it will eat invertebrates and is deemed unsafe with most corals, but it is there for one reason and if it does eat the aiptasia then job done, then will be put into my sump untill needed again

    I will add a picture of it once i get time
