Razorfish




As we swim above the sand flats, we often see razorfish. They are small (about 4 inches), abundant, and much more colorful than most people realize. They quickly dive into the sand when they are alarmed or threatened. Above, I have posted photos of 2 species of razorfish: the green razorfish (a female - bottom photo, a male - middle photo), and the rosy razorfish (a male - top photo).
