Trumpetfish

Trumpetfish belong to the same family as seahorses and cornetfish. They are carniverous, and tend to hover over the reef while slowly sneaking up on their prey, which consists mostly of small wrasses and other tiny reef fish.

Also called: Chinese Trumpetfish

Scientific name: Aulostomus chinensis

It's easy to miss these fish, as they're so thin and move slowly. This one stood out only because he was moving against the brightly colored coral.

Please note: Identification of fish, corals, etc. is a tricky business. It's entirely possible that I've incorrectly identified a photo I've taken. If you spot an error, please contact me so I can correct it and improve this resource.
