Yellowhead Butterflyfish Chaetodon Xanthocephalus

Overview: The Yellowhead Butterflyfish, with its striking coloration and elegant form, is a captivating addition to any marine aquarium. Characterized by a vivid yellow head, contrasting beautifully against its white body adorned with thin, vertical black stripes, this species stands out in any marine setup. Their peaceful demeanor and graceful swimming patterns make them a favored choice among aquarists.

Origin: Native to the Indo-Pacific region, the Yellowhead Butterflyfish thrives in the coral-rich areas of the ocean. They are commonly found swimming in pairs or small groups around reefs, where they navigate through corals and rocks, making them a species accustomed to complex environments.

Feeding: In the wild, their diet primarily consists of coral polyps, invertebrates, and algae. In captivity, they require a varied diet to maintain their health and color vibrancy. It is recommended to feed them a mix of marine flakes, frozen foods like mysis shrimp and brine shrimp, and vegetable-based foods. Consistent feeding of small amounts two to three times a day is advised.

Tank Mates: Yellowhead Butterflyfish are generally peaceful and can coexist with a variety of other marine species. Ideal tank mates include other non-aggressive fish such as clownfish, damsels, and gobies. Avoid housing them with larger, aggressive species or those that tend to nip at fins.

Aggression: This species exhibits low aggression and is considered to be a peaceful community fish. However, they may show territorial behavior towards other butterflyfish, especially in smaller aquariums. A larger tank with ample hiding spots and room to swim can minimize potential conflicts.

Experience Level: Due to their specific dietary and environmental needs, Yellowhead Butterflyfish are best suited for intermediate to advanced aquarists. Knowledge and commitment to replicate their natural habitat and diet are crucial for their well-being in captivity.

  • Temperature: 72°F to 78°F (22°C to 26°C)

Works well when properly applied
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I try to always buy the highest SPF that I can find. This one fits the bill. If you apply it thoroughly all over and then reapply every few hours, you shouldn't get burned. I've worn it to the water park numerous times now. I have very sensitive skin, and it's given me no issues. I even put it on my face, just being careful not to get too close to my eye area. Once it absorbs into your skin, it doesn't feel too sticky like some other sunscreens can. Just be aware that it will leave a white residue on your bathing suit if you get it on there, but I've always been able to wash it out and that's a small price to pay for proper sun protection!

Protected Our Skin and Smells Good
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I love this stuff! My husband and I bought it as a last minute grab for our honeymoon and it was well worth it! I'm very sensitive to the sun AND to sunscreens, so I needed something with simple ingredients that would also protect my skin without breaking me out. This not only kept away the burning rash I get from the sun, but protected my husband and I from any sunburn at all. It worked not only in dry conditions, but it stayed on for hours after we swam in the ocean. We also liked the fact that it smelled herbal, almost like pizza/Italian seasoning. That didn't bother us because we both hate the smell of most sunscreens. If you have sensitive skin or are looking for a more natural product, I highly recommend this!

Great reef-safe, easy-to-apply sunscreen (comparison of three ThinkSport products)
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I will start by saying that I am used to traditional non-mineral sunscreens and tend to only buy physical/mineral-based sunscreens when I'm going to be in a tropical ocean and need something reef-safe, though more and more kids sunscreens are shifting to mineral-based. After quite a bit of research I settled on ThinkSport for my family's recent trip to Hawaii, and I'm very pleased with it. I brought and used three types of Thinksport sunscreen: Thinksport Kids lotion (yellow/orange and teal squeeze bottle), Thinksport adult lotion (Black, white, and orange squeeze bottle), and Thinksport adult spray (black, white and orange spray bottle). All protected us from sunburn and rubbed in to be invisible as long as skin was dry and free of visible hair (visible whiteness persisted around my husbands facial stubble and chest hair). The only difference between the kids lotion versus the adult lotion is scent--the kids version has a fruitier, more tropical but not-too-strong scent (possibly coconut and something else? it was hard to identify) that I found unobjectionable (though one if my kids wasn't a fan), and the adult lotion had a lighter, less sweet, more citrus-y scent (my son though maybe lime and mint, but I'm not sure that's accurate) that I LOVE. The adult spray had no discernible scent, so I suspect the kids spray might be fairly unscented as well. The easiest to apply by far was the spray--it sprays on white, but feels very light, rubs in easily, and becomes invisible quickly. I was a little worried about whether it could possibly be effective given how light and thin it felt, but it was! The lotions weren't thick for a lotion (but much thicker than the spray) and went on easily, but took more rubbing in to disappear than the spray (this is consistent with my experience with lotion vs spray in traditional sunscreens as well). Invisibility was harder to get after a second or third application or when skin was damp, but all-in-all I found all three Thinksport products to be superior to other mineral-based sunscreens I have tried in the past. In the future I'll probably buy the adult thinksport spray for my kids and husband (who all much prefer a spray-on sunscreen) and the adult thinksport lotion for myself (because I love the scent and don't mind rubbing it in).

Dependable sun protection for active days outdoors
Size: 6 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I like how this sunscreen provides reliable broad-spectrum protection and holds up well during outdoor activities. The zinc oxide formula gives me peace of mind, and I appreciate that it's water resistant and reef-safe. It applies smoothly for a mineral sunscreen and stays on effectively during sports, swimming, and long days in the sun. Overall, it's a trustworthy option for anyone looking for strong sun protection.

Clean product
Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I only gave it 4 stars because of the smell. Of course it’s sunscreen so it’s going to have a chemical smell but this smell is just too strong for me. Other then that, it’s a great sunscreen. Does take some more rubbing in and be carful to rub it in really good or you’ll have white streaks all over your face. Leaves a bit of a white cast. You don’t need much.
