Foureye Butterflyfish

Aspect:	Outline very similar to that of Banded Butterflyfish, with similar mid-body scale pattern, but band across the tail is light grey, and while retains black bar across head and eye, features a yellowish head and snout while a white-crowned black "eye" adorns the rear body.
Population:	Regularly abundant.
Notable feature:	Seldom keeps still, unless caught whilst grazing algae on a rock.
Environment:	Usually found in shallow, quiet waters, (but also found on well-populated wrecks down to 40 metres) hovering over rocks or coral boulders in search of algae.
Behaviour:	Will usually swim away when approached closer than two metres.
