Pearlscale Butterflyfish

 Chaetodon xanthurus

Reef Safe

The Pearlscale Butterfly, scientifically known as Chaetodon xanthurus, is a stunningly beautiful addition to any reef aquarium. With its striking white body adorned with iridescent yellow markings and delicate black lines, this butterflyfish adds a touch of elegance and grace to marine environments. Despite its exquisite appearance, the Pearlscale Butterfly is reef-safe, peacefully coexisting with corals and other invertebrates. These fish are omnivores, feeding on a diet of algae, plankton, and small invertebrates, which helps maintain a balanced ecosystem within the tank. Their peaceful nature and compatibility with a wide range of tank mates make them a popular choice for reef enthusiasts looking to add both beauty and functionality to their underwater world.

These fish are for saltwater aquariums only.
