Description
Gunther’s Butterflyfish is a peaceful species known for its striking yellow and white body with a distinctive black stripe across the eye and back. This fish is generally peaceful, making it an excellent addition to a community tank. However, it should be housed with caution in a reef setup, as it may occasionally nip at corals or invertebrates.
This species thrives on a varied diet of meaty foods and plant matter, including mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, and marine algae. With proper care, this species can be a stunning, peaceful addition to any saltwater aquarium.
