  Copperband Butterflyfish

 

Thailand

Copperband Butterflyfish have a whitish-silver body with copper coloured vertical bands, a black eyespot near the dorsal fin, and a long, narrow nose and mouth.

 

This elongated snout has practical use for hunting for food in crevices and holes along the reefs of the Indo-Pacific region where it naturally dwells, usually between a depth of 1 and 25 meters.
