Trumpetfish

Alternative names: Aulostomus maculatus

The trumpetfish is a slender, elongated fish with a long head and tubular snout which lives in the tropical waters of western Atlantic Ocean. They have the ability to change colors which is used both for camouflage and for finding a mate.
When hunting for food, the trumpetfish hides behind other fish and stays in their shadow until it finds the right moment then it vacuums its prey.
