The Meyer’s Butterflyfish is active and colorful in my 55-gallon tank. It doesn’t bother other fish and blends well with the coral. Easy to spot during the day and stays calm. Great addition to a reef setup.
Sebastian Harris –
It’s a beautiful fish with vibrant colors. I’ve had it for three months and it’s still healthy. It’s peaceful and doesn’t chase smaller fish. Needs a stable environment though.
Matt Roberts –
Perfect for intermediate reef keepers. The fish is lively but not aggressive. I noticed it spends time near the back wall, which is ideal for visibility. Feeding is straightforward with flakes and frozen foods.
