About this work
15 cm (5.9 in) long bluecheek butterflyfishes (Chaetodon semilarvatus), Temple, Sharm el-Sheikh, Red Sea, Egypt. This species is found in the northwestern Indian Ocean where it occurs in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, as Far East as the coast of Oman. The bluecheek butterflyfish eats hard corals as well as benthic invertebrates and is one of the few fish species to have long-term mates and therefore are recorded often in pairs. In the background there are also three sea goldies (Pseudanthias squamipinnis) at the top and two purple tangs (Zebrasoma xanthurum) at the bottom, along with different species of coral like hood coral (Stylophora pistillata) or puls coral (Xenia umbellata).
