Bandit angels and Crosshatch in their natural environment

Looks like a somewhat young fantail filefish to me, but it's hard to tell.

hahaha... Even juvenile fantail filefishes are prettier than the trigger in the video! No--it is not a filefish. It is just a common fish know as a bridled triggerfish. This is a juvenile and they get up to 15" when full grown. One thing that we DIDNT manage to capture in the video footage was the school of about 60 scalloped hammerhead sharks hovering about 30ft. off the reef.... It's really amazing what you see down there sometimes.
