Reading today's numbers
Today's 4 tracked listings sit in a fairly tight band, from $174.99 to $276.99, so the single vendor listing it prices it consistently, and the $214.49 median is a solid benchmark for its asking price.
Only one of the vendors we track currently lists it, so this range reflects a single store's listings rather than a cross-vendor comparison — worth keeping in mind when judging the price.
Nothing is in stock right now, so the prices above are the most recent listed prices rather than buy-it-now offers.

A new fish cares most about being acclimated gradually to your tank's own water rather than dropped straight into it — shipping bag water is best kept out of the tank — and then about being offered food it will actually take. Chewy — a general pet retailer that sells no live coral or marine fish, and is not one of the vendors this index tracks — carries reef salt mixes, saltwater test kits, marine fish food, and coral and invertebrate food.

The market median for Masked Butterflyfish has held steady across all 54 days we've tracked it. That's normal here: online reef prices hold still between vendor promotion events rather than drifting (we measured this across the whole market), so today's numbers above are a dependable benchmark — no need to wait for a dip that history says isn't coming.
