What have we learned here today. I was wrong, my bad!
Verdict: Not a butterfly, also the Moorish Idol (Zanclus cornutus) is a small perciform marine fish, the sole representative of the family Zanclidae. So not a tang//surgeonfish for various reasons including its lack of spine on its tail, which defines sugeronfish or Acanthuridae ("thorn tail").
So, back to topic. Did you at least enjoy my photo? I thought it was pretty.
