Why it's a good idea to look under ledges




During the day, many species hide under ledges. There they can rest and be relatively safe from predators (and annoying divers). Sometimes, a glance under a ledge reveals tiny juvenile fish. And at other times larger fish are found. A few of the fish that I have recently spotted under ledges are a glasseye snapper (bottom photo, 10 inches), a spotted trunkfish (middle photo, 8 inches), and a porcupinefish (top photo, 18 inches).
