Trumpetfish: Aulostomus Maculatus with long-body and upturned mouth

The trumpetfish, Aulostomus maculatus,
is a long-bodied fish with an upturned mouth;
it often swims vertically while trying to blend with vertical coral,
such as sea rods, sea pens, and pipe sponges.
Trumpetfish occur in waters between 0.5 and 30 meters deep,
and can grow to 40 to 80 cm in length.
They are sometimes locally abundant over coral atoll reefs
or in lagoons, where they may be caught even in areas of
severe wave action. The spawning habits of the trumpetfish
are unknown, but in the region around Madeira,
the females are known to have mature eggs from March to June.
