Chelmon rostratus – Long-Beaked Butterflyfish, Aiptasia Eater
Chelmon rostratus, also known as the copperband butterflyfish or long-beaked bannerfish, is an iconic species of coral reefs. This elegant fish has a silvery body adorned with five vertical orange-copper bands, along with a long snout that allows it to reach the most inaccessible cavities to capture its prey. A visible black eyespot near its dorsal fin completes its refined appearance.
A delicate yet spectacular fish
Native to the Indo-Pacific, Chelmon rostratus measures between 15 and 20 cm in adulthood. It evolves alone or in pairs and can be territorial with its peers. However, it tolerates other species very well. It is known for being an aiptasia eater, making it valuable for fish-only aquariums or well-researched reef tanks.
Care and living conditions
- Recommended minimum volume: 300 liters
- Temperature: 23°C to 26°C
- pH: 7.7 to 8.5
- Behavior: territorial with its kind, peaceful with other species
- Compatibility: be cautious of its appetite for tube worms and small invertebrates
Feeding: a challenge to tackle
Chelmon rostratus is a difficult fish to feed. Its success in an aquarium depends on its dietary acclimatization. At our facility, we only sell specimens already fed with fresh oysters and garlic-enriched brine shrimp, a particularly effective attractant for this species. However, a change of scenery or tank can disrupt its feeding behavior. It is rare for it to accept pellets or flakes before several weeks to several months.
This fish is therefore suited for experienced aquarists, capable of ensuring stable parameters and a calm environment with access to a varied and quality diet.
Why choose Chelmon rostratus?
- Iconic butterflyfish with a unique elongated snout
- Natural consumer of aiptasia, a true ecological aid
- Very aesthetic with its copper bands and black eyespot
- Specimen already fed with brine shrimp and fresh oysters
- Perfect for a well-balanced fish-only or reef aquarium
Chelmon rostratus is a fish as beautiful as it is delicate. If entrusted to a passionate and meticulous aquarist, it will add a touch of grace and utility, naturally regulating certain invasive species like aiptasia.

N'a pas survécu a son acclimatation
Jeune sujet arrivé très maigre malgré une acclimatation apparemment bien réussie il n'a pas eu le temps de reprendre des forces et est mort 24 h après son arrivée les autres habitants du bac l'avait pourtant laissé tranquille je rachèterai ce poisson car il est très beau et gentil mais m'assurererai qui soit très bien acclimaté avant le transport

Très joli spécimen
Chelmon de petite taille mais a tapé dans les pierres vivantes dès son arrivé. En pleine forme. Merci :)

Super poisson mais….
Poisson reçu, en bonne santé depuis 15jours inconvénient il n’est PAS acclimater. Ne mange pas de congeler donc je sais pas combien de temps il va tenir avec la micro faune du bac. Un peu déçu pour cela
