Yellow Jack (Caranx bartholomaei)Observer
minty_starlightDescription
I take a mesh bag with me into the ocean to carry out any garbage I find. Then I use it to carry my mask and fins, etc home. Last night I noticed an odd smell where I keep my equipment, so this morning I discovered this little jack had swum into my bag somehow.
When they are alone, little jacks like to swim around people. :(

I didn't detect them when I was taking the picture. It looks like two tiny crustaceans living in between lightning whelk eggs.

It was a very beautiful reflective-looking blue. It looked more like glitter than a living thing.
I could not tell if it was turning off a light or if it was rotating and the sunlight was no longer hitting it. Very small but very obvious.

It seemed to be able to draw in the "tentacle" with the little brown spots in when threatened.

Orange Filefish (Aluterus schoepfii)Observer
minty_starlightDescription
This is the second time that I have seen this species. In the other observation, like this one, I noticed that one fish looked bluer and one looked more orange.
They swam away together, slowly, when I showed too much interest in them.
