The Copperband Butterflyfish, Chelmon rostratus, also commonly called the Beak Coralfish, is found in reefs in both the Pacific and Indian Oceans. This butterflyfish is one of the three species in the genus Chelmon, all being known for having longer beaks.

These fish are easily identified by the yellow banding and long snout, juveniles being similar to adults. They grow up to 20 cm in length.
