Chaetodon vagabundus
Reef Safe with Caution
The Vagabond Butterflyfish is a visually striking marine fish known for its distinctive appearance and hardy nature. It features a pale yellow to white body with bold, diagonal black bands running across its body and a prominent black eye stripe, giving it a unique and eye-catching look. This butterflyfish is relatively adaptable, making it a popular choice for marine aquariums. However, it is considered reef safe with caution, as it may occasionally pick at soft corals, anemones, and small invertebrates, especially if not adequately fed. Providing a varied diet and plenty of hiding spots can help minimize unwanted behavior. The Vagabond Butterflyfish thrives in a well-established tank with ample space and stable conditions, making it a suitable addition for aquarists with moderate experience.
