Chaetodon ornatissimus Cuvier 1831, the
Ornate Butterflyfish. Yet another obligate corallivore. Yes, a
beauty, but does not live in home fish tanks. Indo-west Pacific,
Including Hawaiian Islands. To about seven inches in length.
Commonly offered, doesn't live. A mis-barred adult in Kona, Hawai'i. |
|
Chaetodon multicinctus
Garrett 1863, the Multiband or Pebbled Butterflyfish. Confined to the
Hawaiian Islands and Johnston Atoll. Some authors rate this little (five
inch maximum length) lower in terms of survivability. Hardy once
acclimated. Sometimes can be trained on other food but does eat coral polyps
principally in the wild. Kona, Hawaii pic. |
|
Chaetodon unimaculatus
Bloch 1787, the Teardrop Butterflyfish. Often, too often imported from
Indonesia, the Philippines and even Hawai'i... like the similar Indian
Ocean species of the same common name this is an "iffy" fish that mainly
perishes due to the rigors of human (mis)handling. Kona, HI pic of a 2"
juv. 2019. |
|
Chromis agilis Smith 1960, the Reef Chromis. Widespread in the
Indo-west Pacific, including Hawaiian Islands where this species is most
frequently gathered for the aquarium trade. To three inches in length. A
good species for reef tanks. Hawai'i image of a juvenile. Kona, HI
2019.
