A genus of colorful tropical fish commonly called butterflyfish, known for their bright patterns and distinctive shape.
From Greek χαίτη (chaitē) meaning hair, and ὀδούς (odous) meaning tooth, referring to the fish's hair-like teeth or tooth-like fins.
Butterflyfish are so brilliantly colored and patterned that they seem almost painted—their dazzling patterns aren't just for show; they're sophisticated camouflage that breaks up their outline on a coral reef filled with equally colorful neighbors.
