Pairing
Butterflyfish are often seen as the romantics of the reef, as many species are normally found in pairs, and the pairing will last for life.
A few species are solitary and normally found alone, while a very few species form large schools.

In Fiji the only species that regularly schools is the Pyramid Butterflyfish. |
