Razor Wrasse

Leaf or Fish?

A short clip of a tiny juvenile Leaf Fish (razor wrasse), found in the shallows of Chole Bay. Notice how it flutters and perfectly mimics a bit of leaf. This makes it easy for predators to miss and fascinating to watch in action. The spines on the  gill cover are reported to be venomous and can inflict a painful wound.  Squirrelfish are closely related to Soldierfish.
