Kepe-kepe fish (Chaetodontidae) is wide, and flattened. His body is almost round. Kepe kepe is on coral reefs all over the world. The fish is brilliantly colored and has striking stripes and streaks, which are used to interrupt its distinctive shape, and to disguise it. With eyes hidden in black and in some kind with "false eyes" in front of his tail, kepe-kepe also confuses the predator until it is difficult to know which tail is, where is his head, and is also protected by a row thorns on the back, making it difficult to dilate, some kepe-kepe have flat-chiseled teeth to peck soft coral polyps gently.The others have a pointed muzzle with teeth sticking out to get a small animal from a rock crevice.
ikan Kepe-kepe (Chaetodontidae) bertubuh lebar, dan gepeng. Bentuk tubuhnya hampir bundar. Kepe kepe terdapat di terumbu koral di seluruh dunia. Ikan ini berwarna cemerlang dan mempunyai loreng serta lurik menyolok, yang digunakan untuk menyela bentuknya yang khas, serta untuk menyamar. Dengan mata tersembunyi di loreng hitam dan pada beberapa jenisnya de- ngan "mata palsu'' di depan ekornya, kepe-kepe juga membingungkan pe- mangsa hingga sulit diketahui mana ekor, mana kepalanya. Selain itu, kepe- kepe juga terlindung oleh satu deret duri di punggung sehingga sulit dila hap. Beberapa kepe-kepe mempunyai gigi pahat gepeng untuk mematuk polip koral yang lembut lembut. Yang lain mempunyai moncong runcing dengan gigi mencuat guna mendapatkan binatang kecil dari celah batuan. Gambar ikan kepe-kepe...
