Description
Description
The Black Pyramid Butterflyfish is a rare and dramatic color form of the Pyramid Butterflyfish (Hemitaurichthys zoster). While the standard pyramid butterfly is white with a bold black triangular wedge on the body, this dark morph displays a much heavier black or charcoal coloration, often covering most of the body with lighter white or silver accents toward the face and fins. The tall, triangular body shape gives the fish a sharp, geometric look that immediately stands out in large reef aquariums. Adults typically reach 6–7 inches, making them a medium-sized but visually dominant butterflyfish.
