FISH OF THE WEEK - Bluefin Trevally

These fellows were living up to their reputation for hunting in small groups, particularly in the early morning or late afternoon. Looking for a tasty shoal of blue fusiliers if I am not mistaken, some of which co-incidentlaly had swam past a couple of minutes earlier.

FISH OF THE WEEK - Orange-Striped Triggerfish


Supposedly a common coral dweller in the Red Sea but this was the first one I have seen in eighty odd dives. The absence of strips across the snout indicates this chap is in fact a chap.

FISH OF THE WEEK - Napoleon Wrasse


This chap has manged to stay clear of Japanese Restaurants where sadly Napoleon Wrasse is fast becoming a delicacy. Recently ranked among the top ten most endangered species in the world, I hope you share my preference to see these magnificent creatures gracing our tropical reefs.
