En savoir plus
The Chaetodon lunula is a butterflyfish with yellow and black hues. On the top of its head, a small horizontal white stripe is visible. This pattern has earned it the nickname "raccoon butterflyfish." Near the Seychelles, this specimen is most often encountered in pairs, though occasionally it can be seen in groups. When fully grown, it measures about 20 cm.
For effective maintenance in an aquarium, a minimum water volume of 200L is required. The water temperature should be between 23° and 28° and the pH between 8 and 8.5. Shy by nature, it prefers to be kept in pairs or with peaceful and non-territorial fish. A corallivore, it loves LPS corals and small invertebrates.
Common name: Raccoon Butterflyfish. A beautiful butterflyfish that is easy to feed as it eats a bit of everything, including the polyps of LPS corals, so caution is advised when acclimating it to a reef aquarium. It particularly needs an aquarium rich in algal vegetation. In large volumes, it is possible to keep a pair of Chaetodon lunula without any issues.

Mort après 15jrs
Ne s'est pratiquement jamais alimenté, pas de paillettes/granulés et à peine artémia congelé, sur la fin, mangeait des algues fraiches mais trop tard, est mort d'un coup...très déçu, car le poisson n'était pas acclimaté par recifathome....

Trois mois que je l'ai,il a fait le Doubs et a déménagé avec moi en poids lourds jusque dans le 44000. Il est dans un récifal de 500 l.Les coraux ne ce plaignent pas trop de lui ,il se nourri sur les roches vivante et n'accepte que les artémias congelé.C'est majestueux , calme mais avec des accélérations sur 1m50 de façade . Pas territorial ,aime ce monter,et a de l'embonpoint donc je ne m'inquiet plus qu'il n'accepte que l'artémia mer l'équipe récifathome
