Description
The Orangebanded Coralfish is a beautiful saltwater species characterized by its white body with three prominent orange-yellow bands, including a distinctive black ocellus on the dorsal fin. It is a shy fish that thrives in a mature reef aquarium with ample hiding places and a varied diet. While generally peaceful, it can be territorial with other butterflyfish.
