Blueblotch butterflyfish

Japanese name: スミツキトノサマダイ
Scientific name: Chaetodon plebeius

"Blueblotch" means "blue stain" or "blue spot," referring to the blue patches on the body.

Interestingly, the scientific name plebeius is Latin for "commoner," yet the Japanese name Tonosama means "lord" — quite the contrast in naming.
