Sorry about the lousy quality of the pics, I was using a disposable camera.

Slip Dick Wrasse, (I don't come up with the names), hanging out by a rock with halimeda on it.

The pic is bad I know, but there is a blenny in the picture on the left hand side, blending in to the bottom. Most tropicals camoflauge well despite their excellent color, and that is what I was trying to get in this pic.

Blue head wrasse

Blurry wrasse

Caulerpa on the left, see if you can spot the two neon gobies.

Same blue head wrasse from before, he followed me around it seemed, so I figured I had to take another pic.

This seaweed blenny hid right when I was taking the shot, but there is some rockwork here, and I didn't want to erase the picture.

I corralled a couple thousand silversides into a bait ball, and then kind of went into it, this is the pic.


896180-R1-022-9A_010.jpg


This is a pic of the same school of silversides, they were like an acre thick. All those little specs and distortions you see are fish.


896180-R1-024-10A_011.jpg


Your guess is as good as mine.


896180-R1-026-11A_012.jpg


Looking out into the blue, that is a spot tail pinfish on the right.

896180-R1-028-12A_013.jpg


Some spot tail pinfish and a powder blue surgeon.

896180-R1-032-14A_015.jpg


Here is he is again. (The suregeon)

896180-R1-034-15A_016.jpg


A school of a couple different kinds of fish. Spot tails, drums, porkfish, chubs, etc...


896180-R1-036-16A_017.jpg


A rare site, a lone porkfish.

896180-R1-038-17A_018.jpg


Hey a clear picture!

896180-R1-040-18A_019.jpg


Drums hiding out under a ledge. There is a lot of them down there.

896180-R1-042-19A_020.jpg


Can you spot the wrasse?

896180-R1-044-20A_021.jpg


Couple thousand bermuda chubs in a very thick school. (Although this is not the whole school)

896180-R1-046-21A_022.jpg


More of the school as they pass by.

Surgeons and a juvenile parrotfish

It is a fringing reef near my home in south florida. There is a ton of starlett coral there, just not really into coral so I stayed in the macroalgae fields for these pics. Much more fish in that area, and that was what I was going for.
