The **Pebbled Butterflyfish** is a captivating and uncommon species of butterflyfish. These fish feature a predominantly white body adorned with subtle vertical yellow stripes and a distinctive black stripe across the eye. Their light spots create a unique pebbled texture.

**Pebbled Butterflyfish** can grow up to 5 inches and require a minimum tank size of 90 gallons. They exhibit semi-aggressive behavior, particularly towards other butterflyfish. It's advisable to keep them in male-female pairs. Due to their tendency to consume coral, they are unsuitable for reef aquariums.

These fish are notoriously challenging to maintain due to their specialized dietary needs, which primarily consist of coral polyps and live foods. To successfully care for a **Pebbled Butterflyfish**, the aquarium should be equipped with ample established live rock and a refugium, providing a steady supply of live food like worms and pods.
