Vagabond Butterfly
The Vagabond Butterfly is hardy and adapts fairly well to life in an aquariuml. These can be kept in groups of fish, including other butterflies. They won't do well with fish that are overly aggressive, but they will also nip and pick at fish that are very timid. Initially, these butterflies can be shy; making sure there are plenty of hiding places, which will help them acclimate. Like most butterflies, we don't recommend placing them in reef aquariums because they are very likely to consume a variety of coral polyps. This butterfly will grow to be about 9" in size and will need ample swimming space. They are mostly white in color with yellow by the caudal fin. The Vagabond has a black band through their eyes and by the caudal fin. The bluish dorsal fins are jagged and can get caught in nets. They are found in the Indo- Pacific inhabiting in seaward reefs and lagoons up to 30 meters deep.
