Reticulated Butterflyfish

These butterflyfishes are easily recognizable because of their distinctive black coloring. This one came over to check me out and, as most fish are wont to do, quickly got bored with me!

  They’re quite lovely and very distinctive. Not really anything one would mistake them for.

  It’s not common in Hawaii, but where I usually snorkel there always seem to be a few around.
