    Just bought a juvenile butterfly fish. It refuses to eat anything except corals **it keep on pecking on the poor coral**. I understand that butterfly fish feed on corals but other then that what else can they feed on ?
    I have tried brineshrimps, flakes but it doesn't seem to touch it.

    What exact is mysis? Where can I get them. Please enlighten.

    I don't know which kind is it... but its shape is like Tahitian Butterflyfish but is a black banded fish.(i.e. 7 strips aside with one strip in the middle = 15 strips)
