gonna chomp off yer finger there sonny! ...so there i was snorkeling along the reef when i saw a smallish fish zoom up like a torpedo, superfast, and try to bite another fish, miss, then zoom back down. i swam over, got the camera and it was still there when i returned.
this is the orangemouth lizardfish -Saurida flamma - quite uncommon, found in the central pacific.
