Nūnū the Living Branch

Nūnū — the trumpetfish, master of disguise

Hanging head-down among the branching coral, a nūnū holds perfectly still, its long golden body lined up with the branches around it. It is not hiding from you — it is hiding from its lunch.

Trumpetfish are the reef's great pretenders. They drift like sticks, stand like branches, and even ride along above other fish like passengers — all to get one quiet inch closer to an unsuspecting meal.
