Butterfly Fish Wallpaper

These four-eyed butterfly fish were photographed off the Florida Keys. The large black dot on their tail helps to confuse predators. The predator will bit at the tail, thinking it is the fish's head. This gives the fish a much greater change of escaping. Butterfly fish have long, pointed snouts that allow them to eat coral polyps and pick other invertebrates from crevices in the rocks.
