Is the butterflyfish cleaning the stripped grunts mouth? Very cool shot!

Great photos. The first looks like a Guy Harvey painting!. Is that an African Pompano?

Thank you Skeptic14.
Yes, it was going from one to another, making the rounds. We see it now and then, have to be patient to get the shot. If you are in a similar situation, concentrate on the cleaner, not the client.

Thanks Phil, beautiful photos Tim. The young African Pompano is gorgeous. The Bluestriped Grunt and the Foureye Butterflyfish and the Spanish Hogfish and the Bar Jacks are striking.

I'm less jealous than ususal, I've dived the last 3 days in Boynton Beach
