JJ's Recent Photos - 25 March
2012
On
this day our randomly chosen West reef dive spot turned out to be a surge channel
filled with juvenile tangs. The surge channels on either side had almost none
at all while the one we anchored over had literally thousands of them. These
little fish develop in open water and are translucent until they reach 40-50mm
in size when nature triggers them to "settle out" on the reef where
they quickly take on juvenile coloration. This particular day happened to be
the day after a new moon which probably accounted for the settling.
