Chaetodon citrinellus: the Chaetodon citron fish, gentle brilliance and reef compatibility
The Chaetodon citrinellus, also known as the Chaetodon citron fish, is a bright and discreet butterflyfish native to the coral reefs of the Indo-Pacific region. Its luminous beauty and peaceful temperament make it a popular choice for both reef aquariums and fish-only tanks.

An omnivore compatible with SPS corals
