Trumpetfish are voracious and have crafty means of catching their food. They are known to use large herbivorous fish as camouflage, essentially shadowing them until they find the right moment to strike.
Trumpetfish (Aulostomus maculatus) are long bodied fish that often swim vertically while trying to blend with vertical coral, like sea rods, sea pens, and pipe sponges.
