Falcula Butterflyfish
The Falcula Butterflyfish, also known as the Saddleback Butterflyfish, is a striking and elegant species admired for its bold coloration and graceful swimming. Its bright white body is accented by two distinctive black “saddle” markings and vivid yellow fins, creating a dramatic contrast that makes it a true showpiece in any marine aquarium.
Active and curious, the Falcula Butterflyfish thrives in spacious, well-established tanks with plenty of live rock for grazing and hiding. Best suited for intermediate to experienced aquarists, this species prefers a varied diet of meaty foods and algae-based fare. Its beauty and peaceful disposition make it an exceptional centerpiece for a large community reef or fish-only system.
