Permit me to introduce the permit
This morning, we had the great fortune of encountering a trio of permit, who didn't seem to mind us, and stayed with us for about 10 minutes as we watched them. The permit belongs to the jack family. It is a bright silver fish with a high back. The tip of it's dorsal fin, and all the rest of its fins, including the tail, are black. It has a striking appearance. This species is game fish in Florida. It feeds in the sand on mollusks, crustaceans, and urchins.
These fish were about 18 inches long. The photos were taken at a depth of about 15 feet.
