Rainbow runner
Today, we encountered a school of 25 to 30 rainbow runner, a first for me. This species is a member of the jack family, and is typically an open water fish that is rarely seen over reefs.
We saw them at one of the southern dive sites, at about 60 feet, out above the second reef. They swam by several times, seeming almost as interested in us as we were in them. They were about 2 feet long.
This encounter could make it on to Bori's 2012 video.
