Is the length range correct on this? I just saw one last week that was at least 4 feet (120 cm) long.

I double checked in Reef Fish Idenfication by Humann & Deloach and they say that trumpetfish are between 1.5 and 2.5 ft (max 3ft). So we should probably increase the size indication in the article to 45-90 cm (1.5 - 3 ft). How do you know that this one was at least 4 ft? Remember that everthing looks larger underwater. Something that looks 4ft is probably more like 3ft if you would measure it. Janderk 10:42, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
