One large fish that we occasionally encounter in schools or aggregations during the day is the Black Margate (a member of the drum family). They are 1.5 to 2 feet in length, and seem to calmly pass the day, clumped together, waiting for night fall when they presumably feed. The security that they find in numbers is occasionally joined by individuals of other species.
If you look closely in the bottom and middle photo, one odd fish appears. When the school split in two, the odd fish popped out. It was a Gray Snapper (top photo).
