The fins are yellow in color, and the body is mostly white. The white coloration forms a triangle with the yellow fins.The head area is black helping these fish camouflage themselves in the wild. The Pyramid Butterfly feeds upon plankton in the wild, and is safe for reef aquariums.

The Yellow Pyramid Butterflyfish is quite shy at first, and should be provided multiple hiding places. If underfed the Yellow Pyramid Butterfly may occasionally pick at Xenia or other soft corals. Feeding several times daily is recommended
