The Chevron Butterflyfish is outstandingly marked, with many diagonally chevron-patterned lines on a rich silvery white body!
The Chevron Butterflyfish is one of the more elongate butterflyfish in the genus. Though it is occasionally available and is reasonably priced, it is one of the most difficult butterflyfish to keep in a captive environment. In their natural environment they are
obligatory
coral eaters, meaning this is where they get all of their nutrition. This specialized diet is difficult to reproduce in the aquarium and though some will accept substitute foods such as brine and mysid shrimps, they will subsist only for a short period of time without their necessary nutrients.
