A tropical fish with a flattened, rounded body and bright coloration, often found near coral reefs; named for its bat-like pectoral fins.
Compound word from 'bat' (the flying mammal) plus 'fish,' named for the fish's wing-like pectoral fins that resemble a bat's wings in appearance and movement.
Batfish have one of the coolest defense mechanisms in the ocean—when threatened, they turn sideways and stiffen their body so they look like an unappetizing leaf, confusing predators about which end is which.
