The Pakistan Butterflyfish is a beautiful addition to my 55-gallon reef tank. It’s peaceful and active, and I’ve noticed it doesn’t attack corals. Only a bit cautious with smaller polyps, but overall a great choice for intermediate reef keepers.

I’ve had this fish for three months now. It’s vibrant and stays calm. I keep an eye on it near soft corals, and it hasn’t caused any damage. A good fit for a mid-level reef setup.
