When encountering ropes, rope sponges, and gorgonians, I try and look to see what is hiding in them. Slender filefish blend in pretty well in all of these places. These photos are of juveniles in rope atop a mooring block, in about 12 feet of water. The fish were about an inch an a half long. The adults don't get more than 4 inches long.
The hardest part of taking photos of these fish is getting an auto-focus camera to focus on the camouflaged fish.
