The trumpetfish is one of the most popular fish of the reef.
He is master of the camouflage and can stay upright, head down, to hide in the sea fans.

Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
Turtles are in economy mode when they are sleeping. If they are woken during night, they may not have enough air to return to surface.
