Chaetodon semilarvatus: the Masked Butterflyfish, a Touch of Sunshine for a Marine Aquarium
The Chaetodon semilarvatus, also known as the Masked Butterflyfish, is a bright butterflyfish originating from the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Its vibrant color and peaceful temperament make it an ideal choice for passionate aquarists looking for a specimen that is both aesthetically pleasing and enjoyable to maintain.
The Chaetodon semilarvatus features a bright yellow elliptical body with delicate red vertical stripes. A bluish or purplish spot adorns the area around its eyes, giving it its characteristic masked appearance. This fish can reach an adult size of about 20 cm.
A Peaceful and Loyal Behavior

A Minimum 450-Liter Aquarium

- A large open swimming space for its natural activity,
- A decor rich in live rocks to provide shelter and hiding spots,
- Moderate water flow to maintain excellent water quality.
A Diet Based on Polyps and Crustaceans
In the wild, the Chaetodon semilarvatus primarily feeds on:
- Coral polyps (LPS and SPS),
- Crustaceans and small live prey.
In an aquarium, its diet should be varied and enriched with:
- Live or thawed Artemia and mysis,
- Granules suitable for omnivorous carnivorous marine fish,
- Small pieces of thawed seafood.
A regular and appropriate diet will greatly facilitate its acclimatization and strengthen its robustness in the long term.
A Radiant Fish for Demanding Aquarists
The Masked Butterflyfish Chaetodon semilarvatus is a living jewel for any spacious fish-only aquarium. Its vibrant color and sociable behavior make it an ideal centerpiece for a well-designed marine tank.
With generous volume, suitable decor, and a varied diet, the Chaetodon semilarvatus will bring brightness, elegance, and vitality to your aquarium starting from 450 liters.

Remerciement
Bonjour, J'ai reçu ma commande ce matin sans retard et j'en suis très content. Aucun problème, le poisson étant en très bonne santé, il commence déjà à s'habituer au bac. Service client très présent, ce qui est très rare pour un site de vpc. Je recommande vivement. A très bientôt pour une prochaine commande.
