Butterflyfish
The colorful butterflyfish family contains about 120 species found in tropical coral reefs. Butterflyfish are active during the day, and most species keep themselves to a relatively restricted area. At night, their colors may appear much more drab, so as to avoid drawing attention to themselves.
Please note: Identification of fish, corals, etc. is a tricky business. It's entirely possible that I've incorrectly identified a photo I've taken. If you spot an error, please contact me so I can correct it and improve this resource.
