ANIMAL SPOTLIGHT:

Butterflyfish

This fish may be as tiny as a teacup, but its vibrant colors and patterns really pack a visual punch! Among the most commonly spotted fish on reefs throughout the world, the butterflyfish have a wide variety of colors and patterns. Many species, including those found at the Aquarium, have bands across their eyes and dark spots near their tails. This helps to confuse potential predators since they won't know what to target or where the fish is going. With such beautiful colors, the butterflyfish is perfect for your next Instagram Story - don't forget to tag us @MysticAquarium!
