簡介

身上帶著極其明顯的金字塔白色斑塊。不喜歡吃珊瑚，反而喜歡成群結隊在大海中吃浮游生物。

Has a massive white pyramid painted on its side. Refuses to eat coral, preferring to float in the open blue eating invisible bugs.

小知識

這是蝶魚中少數以浮游生物為主的品種。牠們經常成百上千隻聚集在陡峭的礁石邊緣，場面非常壯觀。

Unlike most butterflyfish that pick at the reef, they form massive, spectacular schools along steep drop-offs, constantly feeding on zooplankton carried by the current.
