Chaetodon melapterus
Guichenot 1862. Arabian or Black-Finned Melon Butterflyfish.
Coming from the middle of the Red Sea down and around Yemen, Oman
into the Persian Gulf, this is another "principally coral
polyp feeder". To about five inches in length. Aquarium
image.

Chaetodon lineolatus Cuvier 1831, the Lined
Butterflyfish. At a foot long, vying for largest Butterflyfish of the
family. Widespread from Hawai'i over to the east coast of Africa, into
the Red Sea. A beauty that eats corals, anemones, much of all else, but
doesn't live. One off of Queensland, Australia. |
|
|
Chaetodon oxycephalus Bleeker 1853, the
Spot-Nape or Pig-Face Butterflyfish. Like the very similar and
commonly (mis)offered Lined B/F, C. lineatus, this is a very
large, poor-surviving species in captivity. Indo-west distribution
from the Maldives to Palau. To ten inches. One out in the Maldives. |
 |
|
Chaetodon plebeius Cuvier 1831, the
Blue-Spot Butterflyfish. Maldives eastward to the South Pacific
(Fiji), where these images were made. A beauty that is often sold
in the trade and rarely lives for any period of time to speak of.
This image from Heron Is., N.E. Australia.
