Marine Fish • Coral Reef Grazer • Peaceful Butterflyfish • Reef-Associated Species
 
📋 The Blue Spot Butterflyfish (Chaetodon plebeius) is among the most recognizable members of the butterflyfish family, displaying bright yellow coloration with blue patches behind the eyes and along the flanks. Found on coral reefs across the Indo-Pacific, it gracefully swims in pairs or small groups, feeding on coral mucus and algae films.
In aquariums, this species brings elegance and colour, but it’s best suited to experienced marine keepers due to its coral-nipping habits. With proper feeding and a mature reef environment, the Blue Spot Butterflyfish becomes an active, engaging centerpiece fish.
