Schooling Pomfret  Schuettea scalaripinnis

In a small cave on the reef at Oak Park a I found a large school consisting of mainly ladder finned pomfret, bullyeyes, with a couple of Mado and stripeys thrown in.  These fish shelter in caves or under overhangs, coming out at night to feed.

A lively underwater scene - lots of movement and bustle, neat colors.

So colorful and enjoyable-lighting works beautifully. So glad you posted a "somewhat" larger image-really brings out the colors. Would love to see this on a really large scale, like a whole wall!
