Marginalis Butterflyfish – Rare Australian Butterfly
Description
Description
The Marginalis Butterflyfish (Chelmon marginalis) is a rare Australian species prized for its clean white body, bold orange facial stripes, and elegant black‑edged fins. Closely resembling the Copperband Butterflyfish, it brings graceful movement and vibrant color to larger marine aquariums.
These fish are available by pre‑order only and will arrive Thursday night or Friday; shipping begins Tuesday, May 12. Quantities are limited, so secure yours early.
Best suited for experienced aquarists, Marginalis Butterflyfish thrive in mature, peaceful systems with plenty of live rock, hiding spots, and open swimming space. They may be shy initially but adapt well with proper acclimation and a varied diet of frozen mysis shrimp, enriched brine shrimp, finely chopped seafood, and occasional algae‑based foods. Although one of the most reef‑safe butterflyfish, monitor them in reef tanks to ensure compatibility.
