Great Barracuda
Great Barracudas were a fish that really gave me the willies, more-so than sharks. But I’ve got used to them over the years and, while they still look mean and grouchy, I’ve found their actions are less threatening, not that I’m taking any liberties!
Yesterday, I saw the fish in the top photo heading straight towards me, before veering away at the last moment. Just checking me out I think. That one was in the two- to three-foot range. The one below was bigger, three- to four-foot, and it was getting cleaned. I always find this sight amusing as this giant fish hangs still in the water while little Hawaiian Cleaner Wrasses nibble away at parasites and mucus on the body and even inside the mouth!

Tangy
Yellow Tangs and Convict Tangs are among the most common and colorful fish around Hawaiian coasts.
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.
