Trumpetfish

Trumpetfish in hawaiian waters
13/23
  • Scientific name: Aulostomus chinensis
  • Hawaïan name: Nunu

The trumpetfish is a predator of the coral reef n which he lurks ready for ambush, hoping a fish not noticing its presence might come a little bit too close. To hide the best it can in the reef, the trumpetfish can change its colour and appear like a coral branch.
The trumpetfish has a long blue nose whereas the body is brown.
