The orange-tailed coralfish (Coradion calendula), is a species of butterflyfish native to the coast of Australia.[1][2] It was described based on 44 individuals collected in Western Australia, the Northern Territory, and north Queensland and closely resembles the orange-banded coralfish, but with an orange tail.[3][4]
