Vagabond Butterfly fish

Vagabond Butterflyfish are an elegant butterflyfish species that can be found throughout the reefs of Indo-Pacific and has a pleasing appearance and personality to match. In nature it is calm and quite unafraid, its demeanor is even almost cheeky. Most butterflyfish can be aggressive and territorial with conspecific tank mates and the Vagabond Butterflyfish should be housed as a solitary specimen or as part of a pair.  However, they will not bother heterospecific tank mates and they can coexist peacefully if not housed with aggressors that will bully them.

Vagabond Butterflyfish are omnivores that generally feed on anemones, coral polyps, benthic invertebrates, sponges and various marine algae within their natural habitat. They will also graze on filamentous algae and once they are fully acclimated and have been eating live foods, they will learn to accept freeze-dried and other prepared foods such as high quality, Spirulina-based pellets and flakes, prepared marine algae and other vegetable matter.
