Field Notes
Description:
The midnight snapper is a voracious coral reef predator. Often seen in large hunting groups together with other snapper species of similar size. Beautiful fish that appears quite curious towards divers.
Notes:
The second picture shows a juvenile midnight snapper in the middle of a shoal of damselfish. The juveniles commonly exhibit this behaviour. Shoaling is a well known way for fish to avoid predation.
