Trumpetfish

The Trumpetfish (Aulostomus maculatus) is a large, elongated fish with a mouth that resembles a trumpet. Often this fish is seen near soft corals that offer a bit of camouflage, and when approached often move slowly or remain still.

This trumpetfish was photographed on the reef wall in Roatan, Honduras:
