Bannerfish
Heniochus acuminatus
Bannerfish inhabit clear coral reefs, rocky outcrops, and lagoons throughout the Indo-Pacific. They forage during the day on zooplankton, small bottom-dwelling invertebrates, and occasionally coral polyps. Its exceptionally long white dorsal filament gives the fish its banner-like silhouette and makes it easy to recognize on a reef.
