Thid striking black and white species is often found among the staghorn corals of the Great Barrier Reef. It is so common that when the coral is lifted from the water, humbug fish are often entangled among the branches. If places in water where there is no coral, the fish are bewildered, swimming about helplessly in search of their former host.
