Hamlets




Hamlets are a diverse group of fish in the sea bass family. Some of them are ornately patterned, but they all seem just a bit curious, and will allow divers to approach them, slowly. They are territorial, and remain near the bottom or near reef structures.

The bottom photo is a Yellowtail Hamlet.

The middle photo is a Butter Hamlet.

The top photo is a Barred Hamlet, the most common hamlet in the Caribbean.
