    Beautifull photo @Hix ! This is the problem with this ( and many other ) (fish )genera : several English names for the same species and sometimes even the same English name for different species ! This one ( the Spotted or Peppered butterflyfish ) is Chaetodon guttatissimus. When did you upload it ?

    Update of my Chaetodon-life-list because last weekend I saw 2 Lifers at Burger's Zoo - the Netherlands. Both were living in the enormous Shark-basin :
    5 - Chaetodon aureofasciatus - the Golden butterflyfish. From this species I've just uploaded the first photo of this species in our Gallery. The single fish at Burger's is the only one at the moment living in an European public collection.
    44 - Chaetodon mertensii - the Merten's butterflyfish :
    Last year I had already seen number 1 of the species-list ( Chaetodon adiergastos - the Eye-patch butterflyfish ) so now I've seen a total of at least 38 different species of this genus :).

    I photographed both these species on Monday, sadly however the facility does not wish to have photos of their stock posted online otherwise I would have posted them for inclusion in this thread. :(
