The pebbled butterflyfish (Chaetodon multicinctus) is a species of marine fish, a butterflyfish from the family Chaetodontidae. It is often found near reefs. They are at most 12 centimetres (4.7 in) in length, and white with yellow, brown, and black markings. These butterflyfish are territorial and form pairs. The pebbled butterflyfish occur near reefs in the eastern central Pacific, and are endemic to waters off the Hawaiian Islands and Johnston Atoll. They have a role in aquarium trade.[2]
