Information about the Orbicular Batfish:

The Orbicular Batfish also called the circular batfish, orbiculate batfish, round batfish, or orbic batfish is a popular aquarium fish endemic to tropical waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The body of this fish is almost disc-shaped, and very thin. Its tail, about 20% of the body length, is fan-shaped and is taller than it is long. In the wild, the orbicular batfish is found in brackish or marine waters, usually around reefs. Its range extends from the Red Sea and East Africa in the east to the Tuamotu Islands in French Polynesia in the west, and from southern Japan in the north to northern Australia and New Caledonia. It has been recorded off the coast of Florida, though this may be the result of dumping of aquarium specimens. Juvenile fish are solitary or live in small groups, among mangroves or other inner sheltered lagoons. Adults are found in more open waters and at greater depth.

Fine art illustration of an Orbicular Batfish (Platax orbicularis.) The illustration is available in black and white or color.

Artist’s notes:

The Orbicular Batfish was completed on 11.28.2013. This drawing turned out to be a lot more work than I had originally anticipated – although I was able to fill in a lot of the areas of black with the clone tool in Photoshop. This drawing will become part of a collage of animals native to the coral reefs of the Hawaiian Islands. The drawing is based on a photo by Ron DeCloux and was used with his permission.
