Yellow Multibanded Pipefish

Doryrhamphus multiannulatus

Reef Safe with Caution

The Yellow Multibanded Pipefish, also known as the Many-Banded Pipefish, is a slender and captivating fish that adds a touch of elegance to a reef aquarium. With its elongated body adorned with multiple bands of yellow, black, and white, this pipefish is a visually striking species. Native to the Indo-Pacific region, it thrives in a well-established tank with plenty of live rock and macroalgae for shelter and foraging. While generally peaceful, the Manybanded Pipefish may become aggressive towards other pipefish or similar species competing for territory or food. Additionally, it has specific dietary requirements and may struggle to compete for food in heavily stocked aquariums. Providing a mature and stable tank with ample natural food sources is essential for the health and well-being of this species. Overall, the Manybanded Pipefish is a captivating addition to a reef setup but requires careful consideration and dedication to thrive in captivity.
