Razorfish

Razorfish are members of the wrasse family.  They are amazing to watch, because when spooked, they dive into the sand, without a trace.  They are thin, flexible, small fish.  This species, the green razorfish, doesn't get bigger than about 5 inches. This fish is a male who demonstrates how they move. The fish was about 15 feet deep.

  1. What a great picture of the Razor fish Jill!

    I think my favorites so far are the Orange Seahorse and the Balloon fish! I have seen those Balloon fish in tanks but never in the wild!

    Way cool Jill!
