Teardrop butterflyfish

Japanese name: イッテンチョウチョウウオ
Scientific name: Chaetodon unimaculatus

The Japanese name Itten (one point) comes from the spot on the body — yet the fish actually has two spots in total, one on each side.

"Teardrop" in the English name also refers to these teardrop-shaped spots on the body.
