Razer_Surgeonfish

These Razor Surgeon fish swim in schools that number in the hundreds.

And this is still a vary small portion of the whole school. It's amazing how they all swim synchronized. When one turns, they all turn.

Reef Cornetfish

The Reef Cornetfish is hard to see. When it is close to the bottom, it blends into the background.

Sea Lion

Whoa, what the heck is that! A shark?

sea lions

Nope, just a bunch of friendly sea lions swimming with us.

Rainbow Wrasse

This Rainbow Wrasse is a tiny but colorful reef fish

Orange bait fish

I was not able to identify these colorful orange reef fish that number in the thousands.
Maybe someone can help?

King Angelfish and others

A king Angelfish joins in. No, the photo is not orientated wrong. He is swimming down the wall.

King Angelfish

The King Angelfish is stands out with his bright blue, purple and yellow coloration.

Here he again against a different color background

Some were just freediving to see what was down there.

LongHorns Fan

Gray-bar Grunt

Obviously this guy is a Longhorns fan. Note his right hand.

This Gray-Bar Grunt is a solitary fish.

White-tail Damsel fish

This White-Tail Damsel Fish is also a solitary feeder

Pink Bottom Damsel fish

I had some difficulty identifying this specimen but
I believe it to be a Pink-Bottomed Damselfish.

Shark Shadow

Look closely and you will see three shadowy figures just below the surface of the water

Shark Fin

These Bad Boys are Galapagos Sharks.
They can grow to a length of 7 feet.
Not overly dangerous to humans but definitely
make meals out of the other underwater dwellers.
