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.

Maybe someone can help?

This Gray-Bar Grunt  is a solitary fish.

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.
