A lesser known species of butterflyfish
but one that is more readily available than
you might think. In the right context- a polyp

can have a role in the control of the nusiance
anemone Aiptasia, although it is more likley
to keep them restricted in terms of spreading
and / or expanding rather than eradicate them.

systems.
