This is the ornate butterflyfish.

Chaetodon ornatissimus.

An obligate coralivore that eats nothing but SPS and cannot survive in captivity unless fed a continuous supply of SPS. survival rate is less than 1%.

please be adviced not to buy this fish.

haha surprisingly, this super super rare armitagei angelfish is hopelessly unpopular in the states! this fish has been stuck in diver's den for many months already!

too bad liveaquaria does not ship anywhere out of the states.

and i do hope to find an armitagei one day in maldive shipments where the two parent species overlap in range.

there is another kind of armitagei from the pacific which is a xanthopunctatus x trimaculatus hybrid. a goldflake x flagfin which is 10000x rarer!

thx for ID lemon sis... lucky never buy though it's nice!!! else my corals sure :rip:

ha np.

ornate butterflies are super beautiful. the pic u posted is in stress colouration. the bars became brown.

when it's relaxed, it's orange. but sadly, a heart breaker that never survives in captivity. there are very very very isolated cases, less than the number of fingers on one hand, of them surviving and eating pellets. but no one knows how the survival rate is long term.

it died at their shop? :shock:

i remember reading at reefbuilders that it was sold really quickly.

I was there when the fish was swimming "upside" down and eventually laid in one corner body curled up. After tat the fish was quickly scooped out and brought to the back and after which i dunno wat happened.

Whether it died or not i wont say much more, but one thing i'm for sure was the fish was stuck there for quite long and was not sold until the day i witnessed the above. ReefBuilders is a US based website so watever info they posted on the fish was based on wat they received thru email and not wat they saw in person at RB!

Anyway off-topic and it was so long ago and the fish is no longer there. So let it all ends here.

Anyone know wat is the stocklist for RB shipment tmr?

LCK shipment arrived. Queen angel size varies

If a man could beat his own fantasy. Then to only breed in captivity. Then its pointless.

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
