Deep Predators
A conger eel poking its head out in front of a golden soft coral. Up to a dozen conger eels were seen during this dive. A red alfonsino fish and a wreckfish. A small school of barrelfish and a slightly larger wreckfish (on the left) swim upslope onto the crest of the feature to investigate the submersible. An impressively-sized wreckfish. The size of its belly led to speculation that it is a female full of eggs. Two different sand tiger sharks. The first, which was the larger of the 2, had apparently sustained scrapes on its nose from unknown causes.
