Copperband Butterflyfish

File:Chelmon rostratus Luc Viatour.jpg
Also commonly known as the beaked coral fish,  are usually found on coral reefs or rocky shorelines, and also in estuaries and silty inner reefs.

 Copper band butterfly fish can grow to 8 inches (20 cm) but in a home aquarium are usually half that size.They do well at a normal reef temperature range of 75 to 84 °F (24 to 29 °C), with a tank size of at least 75 gallons and plenty of live rock to graze on. This species can be considered reef safe.
