Chaetodipterus Faber is a common fish species found in the coastal waters of the western Atlantic, including the Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico, and Brazil. This species is also known by several synonyms, such as the Atlantic spadefish, batfish, angelfish, and butterflyfish. The name Chaetodipterus Faber is derived from Greek words that mean "bristle-winged fish," referring to the spiny dorsal fins that resemble bristles. The Atlantic spadefish has a distinct coloration with bold black and white stripes along its body, making it an attractive and popular fish for recreational anglers. It is also a commercially important species for its meat and is often served in seafood restaurants.
