Description
The Longnose Butterflyfish is a strikingly beautiful and distinctive fish with a long, slender body and a long, pointed snout. It is known for its vibrant yellow body, black bands, and white head. This fish is native to the Indo-Pacific region and is popular in the aquarium trade due to its unique appearance and vibrant coloration.
Reef Safe
With caution. While they are generally reef safe, they can nip at soft and stony polyp corals, and clam mantles.
Environment
The Longnose Butterflyfish thrives in a well-maintained tank that mimics its natural reef environment. It prefers a tank with plenty of hiding spots and open swimming space.
Behavior
The Longnose Butterflyfish is generally peaceful but can be territorial with its own kind. It is a diurnal fish, meaning it is active during the day and rests at night.

Gorgeous fish, the like to feed on every small nook and cranny, I’d recommend a strong copepod population.
