About the Butterflyfish
The butterflyfish is a small, brightly colored reef fish, often yellow with bold stripes or a dark spot near its tail. That spot looks like a fake eye, which can trick a predator into biting the wrong end so the fish can dart away. Butterflyfish flit around coral reefs much as butterflies flit around flowers. Use this in a coral-reef unit and trace the path along the butterflyfish's patterned body.
- Many butterflyfish have a dark spot that looks like a fake eye.
- That false eye can trick predators into aiming at the wrong end.
