Peacock Grouper
It says in my book that these fish are not shy. Around here there are pretty shy. They swim away and hide in the coral whenever I’m about. Then there are the times when they are less skittish. I occasionally get close enough to grab some images. Flash photography is distance dependent. More than three feet away and you are in big lighting trouble.
And once again I am trying to salt the fish’s tail. Mostly I get a tail view. Sometimes I get a side view.
And only rarely do I find myself face to face. The main thing to remember is that I will be back next week to dive so the opportunity will eventually present where I can get that shot I wanted.
