The trumpetfish is a master of camouflage, hiding expertly within the branches of soft coral gorgonians waiting to ambush their prey with a quick slurp. This is the first trumpetfish we’ve seen since 2023. #trumpetfish #camouflage #oddball #coralcitycamera #miami #portmiami #biscaynebay #coralcity

iNaturalist says this is a Pacific Trumpetfish, but I'm not so sure the species. Regardless, it was hiding under a coral ledge on one of my favorite dive sites of the trip, causing a makeshift snoot effect that I really dig!

Of course some fish are known for their musical ability, such as drum, bass, and trumpetfish.

The Trumpetfish is such a ridiculous looking creature, they always make me smile. They are masters of color change as well, shading from brown, reddish, orange, and bright yellow. They often drift head-down like this, especially when hanging out in clumps of soft coral. 🦑 #scuba #diving #oceans
