An Orangespine Unicornfish and Common Longnose Butterflyfish swim by each other. I always feel a bit sorry for these butterflyfishes. If longnose isn’t a bad enough moniker, adding common seems excessively harsh. Mind you, it’s close kin is the Big Longnose Butterflyfish, which is no better!

Clever title and apt! They do appear to be oblivious of each other.

I think they’re both very handsome, Graham. While one dazzles, the other has dignified flair.

They’re both quite striking in their own way.

The orchid naming people are clearly competing with the fish naming people! (Let’s just hope the street namers don’t find out)

Great photo of good looking fish. The back end of the Longnose looks equally as grumpy
