How do butterfly fish get their name?
Butterfly fish get their name because they are very brightly coloured, like the wings of a butterfly. Most species are found on coral reefs in tropical waters around the world. The colours and patterns are thought to confuse predators. They may also help the fish blend into its surroundings to hide.
