Fistularia commersonii
Very odd looking fish, long body and snout. Tail fin is forked with a long, thin filmament coming out of the middle. Cornetfish closely related to the trumpetfish. There is only one genus of cornetfish, and just 4 species within it.
Coral reefs and coastal areas in the tropics
These guys are odd!

Nice spotting.
Haha yeah, it's very easy to lose one of these when you're following it around the reef! They're very strange looking, and can even more elongated than this one!
Amazing! I guess it can hide in very narrow spaces?
