| Min Tank Size | 125 gallons (473 liters) for a single fish; larger for pairs or groups. Their active swimming and need for hiding places require ample space. |
| Temperament | Peaceful and shy, especially when new; they become more active with time. Can be kept singly, in pairs, or small groups, but introduce similar species together to avoid territorial issues. Pair with non-aggressive tankmates to keep them comfortable. |
| Reef Safe | ⚠ With Caution |
The Phantom Bannerfish adds a graceful touch to marine tanks with its elegant form. It features black, white, and yellow stripes, a long white dorsal fin, and small "horns" on the forehead, along with a partial white band between the ventral and anal fins. Native to the Indian Ocean, from the Maldives and Sri Lanka to Java and the Andaman Sea, they inhabit coral-rich lagoons and seaward reefs at depths of 1-25 meters. Their shy nature calls for plenty of hiding spots in live rock, but once settled, they bring lively movement to the aquarium.
Omnivorous, grazing on plankton, small invertebrates, and algae in the wild. In aquariums, offer frozen mysis shrimp, brine shrimp, or flake food with spirulina, supplemented with vegetable-based options and vitamin-enriched foods. Feed small amounts 2-3 times daily.
