Fish Eat Fish?

Monday, May 14th, 2007

 

A huge table coral was abuzz with all reef fish you can imagine.  There were anthias, squirrels and rabbits, damsels, wrasses and butterflies, cardinals and snappers.  But there was a-one that got my eye popping.  It’s a fish that swallowed another, then puked it out, or so I guess.  It looked like a double-mouthed fish, with one mouth inside the other.  Was it a case of biting off more than you can chew? Or simply puking out an un-tasty meal - It’s a slingjaw wrasse!  Its protruding snout elongating and popping out of its mouth as it feeds on little fish darting about!
