This morning, I had the pleasure of finding 2 different longsnout butterflyfish that didn't flee into the nearest reef crevice. This is my favorite butterflyfish on Bonaire's reefs. The species is small (about 3 inches), delicate, and almost always solitary. They are rather skittish, and taking photos of them has always been extremely challenging. Today, for the first time, I found a longsnout butterflyfish in a cleaning station.
