The **Horned Heniochus** is a fascinating and distinctive species of butterflyfish. These fish are primarily brown to tan, featuring a prominent white vertical stripe behind their eyes and in front of their tails. They are characterized by a raised bump on their heads and horns above their eyes.
Reaching up to 7 inches in size, **Horned Heniochus** require a minimum tank size of 90 gallons. They are peaceful and generally coexist well with other fish and invertebrates. However, they may occasionally nip at corals, so exercise caution when adding them to a reef tank.
These fish thrive in pairs, but it's crucial to introduce them to the tank simultaneously. They prefer environments with ample live rock for shelter, as they are gentle creatures.
As omnivores, **Horned Heniochus** need a balanced diet of meaty and plant-based foods. Offer them mysis and brine shrimp, nori, marine algae sheets, and high-quality frozen, flake, and pellet foods to ensure their health and happiness.
