    Very pretty fishes! Are they foraging in this area in which they are seen? Posted 5 years ago

      I am not sure because during the day they are actually seen in big schools more like in the deep blue. I think they may be hiding under crevices to sleep but hey, I am sure they also find something to munch on, while they are there :-) Posted 5 years ago
