Linving in Bunaken Indonesia
It is a Jawfish.
They are a Mouth-Brooding type of fish. Nice find and photo!
Ace is spot-on.
I have seen pictures of the males with their mouths just jammed full of eggs. I read that they have to kind of shuffle the eggs around every so often to keep them all viable. Sounds like a pretty tough way to procreate.
By the way, nice picture.

Awesome Indonesia pics Raymond!
Hi!
My name is Lisa from the International Academy of Film and Television.
I am working towards a degree in photography at IAFT. I wish to learn the processes in film production, hone my storytelling skills and be able to work with dynamic, creative individuals.
Ok here's another one. I took this off the coast of Los Angeles in about 50ft or so just a few days ago. I haven't been able to find a pic with this same color in the dive book that I have.
Hi Lisa.
Are you in the Philippines?
