Hi there was wondering if this is a blue face Kleini butterfly? I am in desperate need to control aiptasia and copperband/file fish/peppermint shrimp haven’t helped or can’t keep it alive. The LFS said it was but would like a second opinion

HI have a Blueface in with my Seahorses. It is tough to tell at times but when he turns the right way the black/ gray does give off a blue shimmer so in this picture it’s hard to tell for sure.

Towards the top of the head you can see a tint of blue so yes it is a ‘blue face’ although I personally don’t believe there is a difference in Chaetodon kleinii and they are all a ‘blue head’.
