This fish is not recommended for a tank that contains feather dusters or LPS corals as those things are a normal part of the diet for this fish and they are likely to be damaged or killed. The Fourspot Quads Butterfly like many other butterflies is a shy fish that may take some time to adjust to a new aquarium so providing plenty of hiding places in the tank is very important for this fish. It is recommended to have frozen Mysis shrimp on hand before ordering this fish, as that food will often get them started eating within a day or two of arrival.
Approximate arrival size for Fourspot Quads Butterfly: Small 1-2”
