This species has an appettite for anemones. In fact, they almost consider all non-vertebrates food regardless of defense mechanisms they may possess. But they do make a great community take speciemen outside of it's own species. |

The Raccoon Butterflyfish (Chaetodon lunula) belongs to the family named Chaetodontidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 7.9 inches in length, the Raccoon Butterflyfish is generally passive in nature and sensitive in stamina. Based on the particular specimen you acquire and its environment, the time when it is most active can fluctuate day or night, and will hang out across the entire tank. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Chaetodon lunula should not be housed in a tank less than 75 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include extra swimming area and a stable cave/sheltering ledge.
