Butterflyfish

About this collection

Explore our collection of marine butterflyfish, known for their elegant body shapes, vibrant coloration, and intricate patterns. These active saltwater fish make beautiful additions to spacious, mature marine aquariums.

Care requirements vary by species. Many butterflyfish need excellent water quality, ample swimming space, established live rock, and a varied diet containing meaty and algae-based foods. Some species may also require multiple small feedings throughout the day.

Most butterflyfish are not considered reef safe and may nip at corals, anemones, feather dusters, and other invertebrates. Review each product listing carefully for minimum tank size, temperament, diet, compatibility, and availability before ordering.
