The two species have very similar color patterns, but on close review they appear as permutations on a color theme.

Chasing butterflies
Often, we chase butterflyfish around with our cameras, but on our most recent snorkel, a couple of pairs of butterflyfish seemed to be chasing us, for 15 or 20 minutes: lined butterflyfish, and threadfin butterflyfish (both are known as kikakapu).
The two species have very similar color patterns, but on close review they appear as permutations on a color theme.
