I saw these two Blue Goatfishes hunting with a Bluefin Trevally one morning, and particularly liked the look I got from the goatfish in the center!

I did smile at the look of the middle fish. Yum yum, this rock tastes good. 😆

It does look like that. Actually they have barbels on their chin which they use to probe into cracks in the rocks, hoping to flush out prey.

Fish can be very expressive when they want to be.

Seeing fish where they are supposed to be, you see some amazing faces and stuff. Thanks for letting us see them as well

Yes, that’s quite a look. It’s mouth looks like the end of a handheld vacuum or more like a pig’s snout that anything goat. 🙂

I believe their name comes from their two chin barbels, which look a bit like a goat beard. They use them to probe for food.
