I love this puzzle. I think that butterfly fish is so graceful and lovely. When I was younger I was hoping to get a chance to snorkle and see things like that, but the opportunity never arrived.
Beautiful things are under the sea. Too bad I am afraid of deep water, even though I know how to swim and tread water, so I really enjoy the pictures from the sea. Have an amazingly beautiful day and stay safe!
Nborchardt, I used to snorkel in the ocean for hours, but after I had a bad blood sugar bout, I had panic attacks to the point I could barely get my mask on before one would hit. I did manage to snorkel once since then, but it wasn't comfortable at all and I've given it up.

I'm sorry that happened to you, aknan. How hard to give up on something you enjoy.

Me too, Aknan. Old age sure steals a lot of what we love from us.
COMMON NAME: Butterflyfish
SCIENTIFIC NAME: Chaetodontidae
There are at least 114 species of butterflyfish. They have thin, disk-shaped bodies that closely resemble their equally recognizable cousins, the angelfish. They spend their days tirelessly pecking at coral and rock formations with their long, thin snouts in search of coral polyps, worms, and other small invertebrates.
Some butterflyfish species travel in small schools, although many are solitary until they find a partner, with whom they may mate for life. --National Geographic
Thank you! I put on an undersea video on You Tube and saw these swimming around. The name "butterfly fish" came into my mind with no effort on my part. Turns out I'm right, even though I didn't realise I knew the name!

What's the title of the video? I'd love to watch it.
