The Raccoon Butterfly is an exquisite Butterflyfish that is named for the dark mask which rests over its eyes. These fish are yellow in color with brown and black markings, including a black patch at the base of its tailfin. The Raccoon is a peaceful fish that should be kept in a tank where it will have room to roam. These fish should be kept singly in the home aquarium. This species will also eat nuisance glass anemones (Aiptasia).The family of Butterflyfish get their name from their behavior of fluttering around the reef. These fish typically have rather round and thin bodies. They are very colorful and some have extended snouts which they use to reach worms entrenched in the reef.
