Even a blind dog finds a bone some days. I had been following this juvenile wrasse around trying to get some shots in focus (not easy with this little guy).

To my suprise when I downloaded the imagesand saw them for the first time on screen, two or three of the images had a bonus filefish in. I didn't even notice him under water.

Even better it appears to be a Minute Filefish (Rudarius minutus) which is a pretty rare sight on the best of days.

Enjoy,
M

Good shot! What a nice surprise. Those guys are hard to find let alone photograph.

awesome picture. I can see why you didn't spot him underwater. Very very cool.

Wow, even pretty much in focus! I bet if you were planning to take a picture of those they would have been gone in a flash!
