Apparently Trumpetfish can change their colors. All I could find is this one species, but variable pictures of the fish. I'm pretty sure its a trumpetfish, but am surprised by how variable they are in color. http://reefguide.org/carib/trumpet.html https://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/Gallery/Descript/Trumpetfish/Trumpetfish.html
