It frequents the coral-rich regions of the Western Atlantic and the Caribbean, from Florida and Bermuda to the northern coast of South America. This species is noted for its remarkable color-changing abilities, often presenting a mottled brown to reddish-brown hue with spots that allow it to camouflage flawlessly with its surroundings. Not just a beauty, the trumpetfish is an adept predator, using its expandable jaw to create a vacuum and swiftly suck in prey such as small fish and crustaceans.
