Crown Butterflyfish watched by a minute Goby
Crown Butterflyfish swooping down to nibble on coral polyps, watched with trepidation by a minute goby sitting on the coral. Crown Butterflyfish generally have a wide ranging habitat from coral rich areas to patch reefs in seagrass or rubble. They normally congregate in sheltered areas, preferring pairs or small groups.
