As these photos are not of the highest quality, I wanted to end this post with a shot down the throat of another fish, of similar length, but much fatter, a green moray.

Cornetfish
This morning, our dive was graced by the presence of a blue-spotted cornetfish. This elegant looking, long, thin fish is always a joy to see. And surprisingly, today's cornetfish didn't flee when he saw us. The blue-spotted cornetfish has both blue spots and dashes. Its name is derived from the cornet-like shape of its mouth and snout. It reaches lengths of 6 feet. Today's fish was over 4 feet long. It was swimming through soft corals at the top of the reef, at a depth of about 30 feet.
