Family: Chaetodontidae
Genus: Chaetodon
Subgenus:Corallochaetodon
Species:C. trifasciatus

The Melon Butterflyfish or Indian Redfin Butterflyfish (Chaetodon trifasciatus) is a species of butterflyfish (family Chaetodontidae). It is found in the Indian Ocean from East Africa to Western Java. This is one species of a closely related group which includes the Black-tailed Butterflyfish (C. austriacus) of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden and the Oval Butterflyfish (C. lunulatus) which is found in the western Pacific, from eastern coasts of the Indonesian islands to Australia.
The Oval Butterflyfish and the Black-tailed Butterflyfish resemble C. trifasciatus in coloration. The former has a less conspicuous back patch below the dorsal fin and a mainly dark anal fin, while the latter has black caudal and anal fins.
The Melon Butterflyfish is found in the Indian Ocean from East Africa to Western Java, at depths between 2 and 20 m, in coral-rich lagoons and semi-protected seaward reefs. Small juveniles are secretive and hide in corals.

Hello Luciano,
Beautiful photo in natural colors.

Marine life is beyond my reach, but I like to see good pictures of water creatures, Luciano. To me, this is a lovely picture of a fish from Madagascar.
Did you go deep diving for it?

Bonjour Luciano,

Cette scène est impressionnante. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails du Poisson-papillon à trois bandes. La lumière fait ressortir les couleurs. Bonne journée.
