Juvenile Chaetodon Butterfly: Maui Tidepools

Funlad3 · Jul 13, 2015

I'm in Maui this week, and I was lucky enough to catch this juvie Chaetodon in the tidepools! I'm thinking it's an Auriga or a Raccoon. Thoughts?

I also have a video on FB, but I can't link to it for some reason.... Anyways...

Very very awesome U keep it?

I'm sure it's illegal and all that but I know any reefer would be tempted...... put him in a water bottle on the plane home lol jk

Nah; released back into the pools, where it swam off into a school of Convict Tangs. I applied for an aquarium collector's permit, though, so I can keep 5 fish per day, within regulation.
