Australian Golden Butterfly (Chaetodon Aureofasciatus)

The Australian Golden Butterflyfish, scientifically known as Chaetodon aureofasciatus, is a vibrant, yellow-bodied butterflyfish with orange stripes. It's a popular species in the aquarium trade due to its striking coloration and relatively reef-safe nature. However, it's also known to be an obligate corallivore, meaning it primarily feeds on coral polyps. This can make it challenging to maintain in a reef aquarium setting.
