Golden Butterflyfish

Chaetodon semilarvatus

Reef Safe

The Golden Butterfly, also known as the Masked Butterflyfish, is a stunning marine fish admired for its bright, golden-yellow coloration and elegant appearance. Its body is adorned with fine, vertical lines, and it has a distinctive black mask-like marking over its eyes. This vibrant and eye-catching coloration makes the Golden Butterfly a popular choice for marine aquariums, particularly in reef settings. Unlike some other butterflyfish, it is considered reef safe and typically leaves corals and other invertebrates undisturbed. The Golden Butterfly thrives in a well-established tank with plenty of swimming space, rockwork, and a stable environment, making it a beautiful and manageable addition for aquarists with some experience.

These fish are for saltwater aquariums only.
