About this species
The spotfin butterflyfish (Chaetodon ocellatus) is species of marine ray-finned fish, a butterflyfish from the family Chaetodontidae. It is found in the western Atlantic Ocean, in the Gulf of Mexico and most commonly found in the Caribbean Sea.
The name is derived from the dark spot on the fish's dorsal fin. This, combined with a vertical, black bar through the eye, is an adaptation that can confuse predators. The vertical black bar disappears as the fish gets older and other black lines become more prominent. Along with other Caribbean Seas reef dwelling tropical fish, many young spotfin butterfly fish get sucked up the gulf stream from July to late October and are dumped into Long Island bays. The spotfin butterfly fish is very common and very hard to maintain in a tank. The spotfin butterfly fish can grow up to 6–8 inches.

Estos peces son una de las pocas especies que habitan el Océano Atlántico, viviendo en las costas de Estados Unidos, del Caribe y Sudamérica, siempre en aguas tropicales y poco profundas (30 m).
Son peces escamosos de una perfecta blancura, igual al de una perla. El contorno de su lomo, aleta trasera y vientre es amarillo suave, y su cabeza también, con la infaltable franja negra en mitad de los ojos.
