中華管口魚(馬鞭魚)

Chinese Trumpetfish

Aulostomus chinensis

簡介

海裡的倒立吸管。喜歡貼在大型海龜或鸚哥魚身後當掩護，悄悄逼近目標獵物。

Floats head-down like a long drift stick, frequently hitchhiking behind larger parrotfishes to sneak up on prey.

具有鮮黃色與暗褐色等多種體色型態，常筆直垂直懸停在珊瑚海扇旁，捕食時管狀嘴能瞬間產生真空負壓吸食獵物。

Occurring in distinct bright yellow or banded brown phases, it snaps its mouth open in milliseconds to vacuum up small fish.

尚無潛點紀錄。
