Heterocarpus longirostris [Heterocarpus longirostris]
Description
This species is known for its notably long rostrum, which can make it look especially streamlined as it moves through the water column. Underwater, divers might see it near rocky bottoms or along slopes, where it picks its way through the darker, deeper habitats and retreats rapidly when approached.
