Pelewensis Butterflyfish

(Chaetodon pelewensis)

The Pelewensis Butterflyfish, also known as the Dot-and-Dash Butterflyfish, is a striking and relatively uncommon species from the Central Pacific. Its pale yellow body is adorned with a bold pattern of horizontal dashes and rows of small dots, giving it a refined, geometric elegance that stands out in any display. A peaceful species, it does well with other non-aggressive tankmates and adapts readily to aquarium life when offered a varied diet.
