| phylum | Chordata | Forcipiger flavissimus, the Yellow Longnose Butterflyfish or Forcepfish, is a species of butterflyfish native to the Indo-Pacific. It is similar in appearance to and found in much the same range as the less common Forcipiger longirostris. Together, the two species are collectively known in the Hawaiian language as lauwiliwilinukunukuʻoiʻoi, or "long-snouted (sharp-beaked) fish shaped like a wiliwili leaf".
