The Pelewensis Butterfly is truly stunning display of the colors of a rainbow. They are fairly hardy and will adapt well to life in an aquarium if acclimated properly. Unlike other butterflies, Pelewensis Butterflies should not be housed in groups. They won't do well with fish that are overly aggressive, but they will also nip and pick at fish that are very timid. Like most butterflies, we don't recommend placing the Latticed in reef aquariums because they are very likely to consume a variety of coral polyps. This butterfly will grow to be about 5" in size and doesn't need as large of an aquarium as some other butterflies. The Pelewensis' body is vibrant yellow with hints of orange and has black bands making a diagonal pattern. Their fins are lined with white, yellow and black. The dorsal fins are jagged and can get caught in nets.
