Longnose Butterfly

Native to the Indian and Pacific Oceans, the Longnose Butterflyfish (Forcipiger flavissimus), or the Forceps Fish, is a peaceful and colorful choice. Growing up to 9 inches/23 cm, this fish does best in a larger, fish-only tank. They use their uniquely long snout as a pair feeding forceps to get between coral heads and into nooks and crannies!
