It is brown/purplish in color and has a large, distinguishing "nasal" protrusion. The tail is black surrounded by a white margin. It is often found in large schools off tropical reefs, and it feeds on zooplankton. The fish has two scutes on the left side. These are found on the caudal peduncle near the tail. They can reach up to 1 meter in length but this group were mostly around 0.6 - 0.7 meter in size.

Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
