We saw several interesting things, but rather than feature highlights from today, I've looked back through my photos to share a couple that seemed memorable.
The first is the teardrop butterflyfish (kikakapu). I don't recall ever seeing one before, but somehow we encountered a pair. One of many butterflyfish species here with yellow, white, and black markings, these fish were 5 or 6 inches long.
The next is the barred filefish (o'ili). This sweet looking fish (about 12 inches long) even has pink "lips".
The last is the stocky hawkfish (po'opa'a). We spent lots of time photographing several species of hawkfish. They patiently perch on coral and rocks, but as you can see from the eyes of this fish (about 9 inches long), they are always paying attention to what is happening around them.
