Description
Muller's Coralfish is a beautiful saltwater fish characterized by its distinctive vertical brown bands and a prominent black ocellus (eyespot) near its dorsal fin. It is a relatively peaceful butterflyfish that requires a mature reef or fish-only-with-live-rock aquarium. This species thrives on a varied diet and stable water conditions.
