Moorish idol

The kihikihi, also known as the Moorish idol, is a striking reef fish with a long, flowing dorsal fin. It lives in the warm waters of the Indo-Pacific, where it glides gracefully among coral formations. This fish is the only living member of its family, making it quite special.

• Its tall, sickle-shaped dorsal fin can be nearly as long as its body.
• It is the sole surviving species in its entire fish family.
• Bright yellow, white, and black bands make it easy to spot on reefs.
