The color yellow

Today's post features the color yellow.

Often, as we are snorkeling we encounter a lot of yellow fish.  Most of them are yellow tang (Hawaiian name: lau'ipala).  This bright yellow fish is a surgeonfish. They graze algae off rocks and dead coral, sometimes in large numbers.  Their bright yellow seems like an extra ray of sunshine.


This morning, we were fortunate to find a bright yellow trumpetfish (Hawaiian name: nunu), foraging among the yellow tang.  This was our first yellow trumpetfish of the season.
