Copperband butterflyfish

Japanese name: フエヤッコダイ
Scientific name: Chelmon rostratus

Characteristics

A butterflyfish with a long, flute-like snout.

"Longnose" in the English name also describes this elongated beak-like snout.

A very similar species is the longnose butterflyfish; the two can be told apart by the presence of a small black spot at the base of the pectoral fin — the copperband butterflyfish lacks this spot.
