What does the four eye butterfly fish eat?

The Four-eye butterflyfish (Chaetodon capistratus) is an omnivore, meaning it eats both plants and animals. Here's a breakdown of its diet:

* Algae: This is a major part of their diet, including filamentous algae, diatoms, and other types of algae found on coral reefs.

* Zooplankton: They also consume small crustaceans, worms, and other tiny marine animals.

* Coral polyps: They will occasionally nibble on coral polyps, but this is not a primary food source.

In captivity, they are often fed a combination of flake food, algae wafers, and frozen brine shrimp.
