The Punctato Butterflyfish is a striking species with distinctive spotted patterning and elegant fins. This intermediate-care fish thrives in established aquariums of at least 50 gallons, where it displays its peaceful temperament among compatible tank mates. While not reef-safe due to its tendency to nip at corals and invertebrates, it makes an excellent addition to fish-only or FOWLR setups. The specimen reaches approximately 5 inches at maturity, making it a moderate-sized centerpiece fish. Provide varied diets including quality flakes, pellets, and occasional live foods to maintain vibrant coloration and optimal health.
