Chaetodon pelewensis Kner 1868, the Sunset or
Dot-Dash Butterflyfish. Very similar to the hardy Spot-Banded
Butterflyfish, Chaetodon punctatofasciatus (see in "Good"
Chaetodon section) but with oblique body barring versus vertical.
Southern Pacific Ocean area. To five inches length overall. This two
inch juvenile in French Polynesia 2018. |

| Chaetodon
lunula (Lacepede 1803), the Raccoon Butterflyfish.
Though not as attractive as its namesake in the Red Sea (C.
fasciatus), the Indo-Pacific Raccoon is just as hardy, and a very
good choice for eating pest Aiptasia anemones in reef tanks, though it will
consume coral polyps. French Polynesia 2018. |

Chaetodon quadrimaculatus Gray 1831,
the Four-Spot Butterflyfish. Found in the central to western
Pacific, including Hawai'i. To six inches long. A few
specimens live and live, most die "mysteriously" in
aquarium conditions. In the wild, this species feeds principally
on Pocillopora coral polyps. French Polynesia 2018. |

Chaetodon reticulatus Cuvier 1831, the Reticulated Butterflyfish.
Nice looking, and "friendly" underwater toward divers, but dismal
survival records in captivity for this coral polyp eater. Found commonly
in central and western Pacific. To six inches total length. A 2.5" one
in French Polynesia 2018. |
