I saw one of these Ribbonfish (?), in 90 ft. of water near the surface along a sargassum weed line and a ton of moon jellys today off Ft. Lauderdale on the Sea Experience. It looks like the moon jelly population explosion this year may be worse than last year from early impressions btw. They kept clogging up my dive scooter in a honking strong south running current. Later, I think I saw a school of these guys on the second dive in about 25 ft. of water over the second reef. A group of about 20 individuals were schooling fairly close together, aligned head down over a sand area.
I don't recall having seen any of these guys on or around the reefs before. Have many others seen these very commonly on South Florida reefs or in pelagic areas?
There is a video of the one in deep water at: Ribbonfish??? Have you seen these on the reefs before? - FKA Kiteboarding Forums
