Zanzibar Butterfly
Chaetodon Zanzibariensis
The Zanzibar Butterflyfish (Chaetodon zanzibarensis) is not that common on the coast of mainland Tanzania but is fairly common on Zanzibar and Mafia Island. They are colorful fish and are easy to spot from a distance on the reef.
Zanzibar Butterflyfish are more often than not seen singularly but they are seen in pairs. They are usually found from 10 meters downwards to 20 meters. Usually they are seen in areas with abundant acropora corals. They are fairly shy fish and are not that easy to get close to. Usually they will swim off if they feel a diver is following them. They will usually make short fast darts at the acropora corals, biting off the polyps and move off onto another formation once they have tried their luck.
