Forcipiger flavissimus. This highly attractive and very hardy species has a brightly colored yellow body with its upper face area black and its lower half off-white. It’s dorsal, anal and pelvic fins are yellow, with the tail and pectoral fins clear. There’s also a black false eyespot on the upper aft edge of the anal fin. Its biggest attraction is its elongated, needle-nose-like snout, which is used for searching out prey in crevices and cracks.
