Bannerfish

Pennant Bannerfish (Heniochus diphreutes)
Bannerfish by cliff1066

White with 2 broad diagonal black bands, up to 18cm in length. Similar in appearance to Heniochus acuminatus but has larger eye and smaller snout.

Thrives best in moderate reef tanks of 25-26 degrees celsius. They will usually feed on plankton and brine shrimp, although if underfed they might nip at invertebrates.
