Received the Ocellated Butterflyfish in good condition. It’s active and stays calm in the tank. The tank is 75 gallons and has been stable since adding it. Looks very similar to copperband but more unique. Very happy with the purchase.

The fish arrived healthy and has adapted well to the tank. It doesn’t eat much but is active and peaceful. Tank size is sufficient. Would recommend to reef keepers looking for a rare species.
