Batfish
Platax orbicularis
Adult orbicular batfish live around coral reefs, lagoons, and deeper coastal slopes in tropical Indo-Pacific seas. They cruise slowly through the water column and eat algae, small invertebrates, and planktonic animals. The adult's tall, round body can grow broad and disk-shaped, unlike the elongated appearance of many juveniles.
