Reef Relief - for kids only - Butterflyfish coloring page

This fish is named for its bright colors that sometimes look much like those on the wings of real butterflies. Like its larger cousin the angelfish, the butterflyfish is seldom seen in groups. Instead, it prefers to travel alone or in pairs. The long slender jaws and tiny teeth allow the butterflyfish to nibble at small animals that live int he reef. Many butterflyfish have stripes through the eyes and a large spot near the tail, making it difficult to tell which way this fish is really facing!
