fishy Monday

.

Some fish today,  a Redband Parrotfish chomping at the -- whatever they chomp.  You can actually hear their teeth grinding the coral rock, which is soft calcium carbonate.

A pair of Banded Butterflyfish.  They generally go around in pairs.











.

One of the tiny jewels of the reef, a Fairy Basslet.  about an inch long, 2cm.  They orient themselves to the surface they're near.  If they are under a ledge, they're upside down!  But that's right side up for them.  I would get dizzy.

Another view of the same fish, now headed up, he's on a verticle surface.   I really don't know what's right side up for him!

Oh, my, all for today!  Thanks for stopping by!
