Redback butterflyfish

The Redback butterflyfish (Chaetodon paucifasciatus) is a species of marine fish notable for its striking appearance. It features a predominant white body with a broad, vertical red band on its back, hence the name "Redback." It is indigenous to the Western Indian Ocean, particularly around the waters of the Red Sea. This species is characterized by its compressed body and distinctive coloration. Despite its visual appeal, the Redback butterflyfish is not commonly prominent in the aquarium hobby, primarily due to its specific care requirements and relative rarity in the trade.
