Butterflyfish

The Butterflyfish is a delicately patterned ocean fish recognizable by its flattened body and bold, geometric markings. A resident of Starsand Island's coastal waters during autumn and winter, it thrives when the ocean cools and other species retreat. Its dramatic coloring — typical of the real-world Chaetodontidae family — makes it one of the most ornamental catches available in the ocean zone.

Butterflyfish are active from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM in any weather during autumn and winter. Bug Bait is the recommended lure, mimicking the small invertebrates these fish pick from rocks and corals. Their tolerance for any weather makes them reliable autumn and winter targets whenever you have time to visit the ocean.

Butterflyfish are an attractive Islandpedia entry and a solid autumn-winter fishing goal for anglers who want to keep their ocean log active outside of summer. They sell for a respectable price and can contribute to cooking recipes. Keep Bug Bait stocked during the cooler seasons and the ocean will rarely feel quiet.
