on night dives I have heard this species "honk" when startled by the beam of my light passing over it.

Skinny-Minnie
Encountered on almost every reef dive, the Bluespotted Cornetfish (Fistularia commersonii) is so common I seldom photograph it. Still, it's an interesting fish that looks like it has been run over by a steamroller. Even the eyes look flattened!
The cornetfish only moves the rear third of its body as it swims. While appearing very slender in profile, when viewed from above it is surprisingly stout.
