F. longirostris has a compressed yellow body with a black triangular region on its head, and as the name implies, a long, silvery snout. Usually 10 or 11 dorsal spines, a black spot on the anal fin, and rows of small black spots on the breast are found. The fish grows to about 22 cm (8.7 in) in length.
This species can also be found in the aquarium trade relatively easily. These butterflyfishes are less likely to consume corals and other sessile invertebrates, which is the single most well known and iconic trait of most butterfly fishes, and is typically the prohibiting factor for not keeping them in reef aquaria that contain large amounts of fleshy coral, than other members of their family.
Because of their long lifespans and older sexual maturity age, factors affecting their reproduction are an issue in preserving them. [27] Overfishing is a large issue for this fish, especially when the fish have not reached sexual maturity due to the female not reaching sexual maturity until about 6 years of age.
[4] [5] Between them the fish was given three separate scientific names each one in a different genus, though Poey's assignment of the species to Prognathodes is the only valid combination. [5] [4] [2] It was again described in 1880 by Sauvage who gave it yet another scientific name that has since been synonymized into P. aculeatus. [6]
Lethrinus olivaceus, common name longface emperor or long-nosed emperor, is a species of marine ray-finned fish belonging to the family Lethrinidae, the emperors or emperor breams. This species has a wide Indo-Pacific distribution.
