Three cornetfish species live in the Pacific Ocean:
Fistularia commersonii Riippell, 1838, reef cornetfish;
Fistularia cometa Gilbert & Starks, 1904, deepwater cornetfish; and
Fistularia petimba Lacepede, 1803, red cornetfish.
changing from a camouflage strategy on complex turf algae substrate to f) interacting with sea urchin in a less-structured habitat, g) a single Holocentrus adscensionis sheltering among sea urchins, h)
Fistularia tabacaria, an occasional visitor, i) Dactylopterus volitans displaying its pectoral fins, j) Chilomycterus spinosus among dense Codium sp.
They were initially thought to be the reef cornetfish,
Fistularia commersonii; however, critical examination indicated that these two specimens are the Pacific cornetfish,
Fistularia corneta Gilbert and Starks 1904, a new addition to the California fauna.

The SIMPER analysis indicated that the species contributing most to the dissimilarity between Narragansett Bay and Long Island Sound were rough scad (Trachurus lathami), crevalle jack, blue runner (Caranx chrysos), flying gurnard (Dactylopterus volitans), bluespotted coronetfish (
Fistularia tabacaria), and the orange filefish (Aluterus schoepfi).
Forty of the total 65 species collected in 2000-03 neuston net tows in Sargassum were unique to this habitat, whereas only two (
Fistularia sp., Selene setapinnis) of the total 27 species collected in open-water habitat were unique (Table 2).
