Fish Sounds

Butter Hamlet (Hypoplectrus unicolor): Hamlets will change to the color of species in their area, and no-one knows why!
Trumpetfish: their long slender bodies help them disguise themselves in coral and surprise their prey
More brightly-colored marine life on the reef
Fairy Basslet (Gramma loreto): these fish hang out on large underwater cliffs, oftentimes making a sea of purple and yellow
Spotted drum (Eques punctatus): many fish are named after their sounds, and the "drums" are no different
A big school of Blue Tang, as they patrol the reef for unmanaged algae farms of damsel fishes
Harlequin Bass (Serranus tigrinus): these small fish sometimes only mate with one other fish for their whole life!
One of my favorite fishes, known as a Lizardfish--these fish have gnarly teeth and lack a swim bladder, but I discovered that they make sounds to attract females!
