The White-face Butterflyfish is a captivating and uncommon species of Butterflyfish. These fish are characterized by their white faces that gradually blend into a darker body adorned with bold black vertical stripes. Their tails are accented with yellow highlights.

The White-face Butterflyfish can grow up to 5 inches in length and require a minimum tank size of 75 gallons. Known for their peaceful nature, they generally coexist well with other fish and invertebrates. However, they may nibble on hard corals, anemones, and mushrooms, so caution is advised when adding them to a reef aquarium.

These fish are quite shy and thrive in environments with ample hiding spots, ideally provided by live rock. The White-face Butterflyfish will often graze on the rock for small invertebrates and anemones between meals. They can be kept in small groups, but it's best to introduce them simultaneously.

As carnivores, The White-face Butterflyfish require a diet rich in meaty foods. Offer them mysis and brine shrimp, high-quality frozen foods, and premium flake and pellet foods to ensure they flourish in your aquarium.
