The Copperband Butterflyfish (Chelmon rostratus) can grow to 8 inches (20 cm) but in a home aquarium are usually half that size. They do well at a normal reef temperature range of 75 to 84 F (24 to 29 C), with a tank size of at least 75 gallons and plenty of live rock to graze on.

The Copperband Butterflyfish are found in reefs in both the Pacific and Indian Oceans. They are found at depths of 1−25 metres either alone or in pairs and form monogamous pairs during breeding.
