Bannerfish
For Saltwater Aquariums

Bannerfish are elegant, streaming-finned relatives of butterflyfish, several bearing a striking resemblance to the iconic but famously difficult Moorish Idol. At #Fisheee Aquarium Store Phuket Thailand, every listing gives clear guidance on reef compatibility, tank size, and care difficulty, so you can choose the bannerfish that suits your aquarium.

Our Bannerfish Collection

For a hardier alternative to the true Moorish Idol, the Longfin and Schooling Bannerfish are popular, beginner-friendly favourites, both nicknamed the "Poor Man's Moorish Idol." For a rare, endemic species, the Red Sea Bannerfish is geographically restricted and infrequently available. For keepers with the space, the Singular Bannerfish is the largest in the entire genus, growing up to 30cm. The true Moorish Idol itself remains the ultimate expert-only centrepiece for a dedicated, experienced reef keeper. #FishShopPhuketThailand

Care tips:

  • The Moorish Idol: a true species, not a bannerfish, but included here for comparison; expert-only, with highly specialised feeding needs

  • "Poor Man's Moorish Idol": the Longfin and Schooling Bannerfish share a similar look to the true Moorish Idol but are considerably hardier and easier to keep

  • Naming overlaps: the Masked and Humphead Bannerfish share the "Horned Bannerfish" nickname; the black facial mask distinguishes the Masked species

  • Reef safety: no bannerfish or the Moorish Idol are reef safe; all will nip at corals or eat sessile invertebrates to varying degrees

  • Open swimming space: most bannerfish are active swimmers that need real open space; avoid undersized tanks
