Heniochus acuminatus
Almost always in pairs, it feeds on zooplankton. It is very similar in appearance to the closely related Heniochus diphreutes, but has a longer and more circular shape.
Coral reef walls.
The pennant coralfish's natural distribution is in the Indian and Pacific oceans in reef settings, from southern Japan to Micronesia and Lord Howe Island. Also found in the Seychelles.
