Pacific Double-Saddle Butterflyfish
A Pacific Double-Saddle Butterflyfish - Photographed around Komodo, Indonesia

I've come across these saddle-backs throughout Southeast Asia. It is generally found singly or in pairs. It feeds on small invertibrates and algae.

Please note: Identification of fish, corals, etc. is a tricky business. It's entirely possible that I've incorrectly identified a photo I've taken. If you spot an error, please contact me so I can correct it and improve this resource.
