Hawaiian Flagtails

A while ago, I posted about Hawaiian Flagtails living in the shallow surge zone of the reef (here). Recently, I came across this scene, where a small school of these fish had ventured out a bit, so I got a better look at them.

Being white, you’d think they were easy to find, but I imagine that in dappled sunlight they could disappear.

  They’re almost always in this area, but usually farther into the shallows, so harder to get a decent photo of.
