The Pearlscale Butterflyfish has a pearly white body with an iridescent glow, a striking black reticulated crosshatch pattern, orange markings on the anterior dorsal and anal fins and caudal peduncle, and yellow tracing on the dorsal fin tips. Distinguished from similar species by a white-rimmed dark oval spot behind the eye band, it needs a minimum 265-liter fish-only-with-live-rock tank, peaceful tankmates, and a diet of meaty foods plus regular vegetable matter.
