One of these critters hangs at a dive platform near the Great Barrier Reef and the snorkeling folks all take pics with it - so cool!!!
This fish has something very human in its face, but I don't know what 🤔
I got to scuba with a pair of them that size in Fakarava a couple years ago. They were amazing. Later on that same dive I swam into a school of barracuda that had tens of thousands swimming in a cyclone formation starting at 3 meters all the way down into the dark. This is awesome footage. Thanks for sharing.
