Rockmovers

This morning, we watched two rockmover wrasses for quite a while.  They are interesting looking fish, and sometimes we see them moving rocks to get to the prey which might be lurking beneath the rocks.  In the past, we have observed something that looked like courtship between two adults.  However, today the pair that we were watching was one adult and one juvenile.  The juvenile stages mimic drifting algae.  These fish were about 4 and 6 inches long.
