Platax batavianus
Zebra Batfish
Juveniles have a beautiful zebra like pattern on their body with all their fins elongated. They are usually found in shallows protected areas, in sea grass beds, or close to sessile benthic organisms (sponges, corals, and crinoids). Adults live solitary or in small schools on inshore reefs or wrecks.
