Long Nose Butterfly Fish

Swimming around the Great Barrier Reef, the Long Nose Butterfly Fish spends its days weaving closely through branching corals and rocky crevices. With fins resembling the vivid and striking wings of a butterfly, it flits about the reefs in search of food, using its elongated, tube-like snout to fossick small crustaceans out of narrow coral crevices.
