What are Butterflyfish and Bannerfish?

Butterflyfish and bannerfish are marine fish that are highly sought after in the fishkeeping world. Seemingly advertising themselves with the bold colours on their disk-like bodies, Butterflyfishes are amongst the most conspicuous fishes that swim about tropical seas openly on coral reefs. They are admired by snorkelers and divers and are also amongst the most popular fishes for a marine aquarium. Over 130 species of butterflyfishes and bannerfishes occur at shallow depths, but a few species were observed from submersibles at about 200 m.
