Snorkeling with Trumpetfish – Nature’s Color-Changers
Long, slender, and full of surprises — trumpetfish are masters of disguise on the reef. You might see them in yellow, blue-gray, or even striped — they can change colors to blend in or sneak up on prey.
Gliding vertically among coral branches or shadowing other fish, they’re stealthy hunters and some of the most fascinating creatures you’ll spot while snorkeling in Kauai.
Next time you're in the water, keep an eye out — their shape may be subtle, but their colors are unforgettable.
