    This species requires places to hide, especially when newly introduced into the aquarium. This species eats glass anemones (Aiptasia). But occasionally one finds an individual fish which refuses to eat them. Some species of the Chaetodon genus are grouped together in what is known as a "complex", since they are so very similar.
