The Orange Butterflyfish (Chaetodon kleinii), also called Klein's, Sunburst, Brown, or Blacklip Butterflyfish, is one of the hardiest and easiest butterflyfish species to keep; it has a warm golden-yellow to yellow-brown body with a bold black to bluish-black band through the eye. It requires approximately 450 liters (120 gallons) with plenty of open swimming space and live rock with caves and sheltered areas; it is peaceful to semi-peaceful and compatible with most peaceful marine fish, but not reef compatible, as it may nip at leather and soft corals; feed frozen mysis shrimp, krill, marine crustaceans, chopped marine fish, and high-quality marine pellets and flakes at least three small meals per day.
