Field Notes

Habitat:

Drift in Canyons or secluded areas such as reef "swim throughs". May inhabit a specific area of a reef for years.

Notes:

There is a large school that I've regularly seen while SCUBA diving the nearby Eden Rock Reef. I was pleasantly surprised to see this lone individual while snorkeling right off of the seawall on my own on a recent Grand Cayman cruise visit.
